Plaza
Aotea Square
291-297 Queen Street, Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010
Open civic plaza beside a historic town hall, ringed by cafes and host to concerts, markets and rallies.
This guide to Aotea Square in Auckland returns to the seventh of December 1984, when ten thousand people packed the plaza for a free concert by DD Smash, fronted by a young Dave Dobbyn. You'll also hear about the square's later life as a gathering point, from political rallies to the Occupy movement's tent city that camped here for three months in 2011.
