Wynyard Quarter

This guide to Wynyard Quarter in Auckland traces eighty years of the site Aucklanders called Tank Farm, a fenced industrial yard of fuel tanks built on land reclaimed from the harbour from the early nineteen hundreds onward. It follows the fishing fleets and marine companies that packed the wharf in its last industrial decade, turning over well over a billion dollars a year while the public stayed locked out, and the poetic name planners floated for the site that never caught on.
