The locals of Tinui worked really hard to obtain, retrieve and revive old letters, communications, pictures etc to tell the full story of the significance of the Tinui Taipo ANZAC War Memorial. It is all able to be seen & read at the community store, craft store and Museum. Tinui ANZAC Memorial is now acknowledged by the NZ combined Armed Forces as the Worlds First ANZAC Memorial and the Air Force is present most years (2010 included) with fly overs etc. We need to support this community in their completely voluntary efforts to maintain the village, it's history and place in New Zealand! Cheers
