Once a Westie, always a Westie. There’s something special about people who have ever lived in West Auckland. It’s as if they have been imbued with a spirit of freedom and independence by the West’s awesome landscape, its commanding hills, rainforest and wild beaches. From Te Atatu to Titirangi, from Piha to Helensville, the West is full of extraordinary characters: pioneers, grafters, artists and visionaries. This book celebrates the lives of many of these wonderful people.
