Steam Scene operates thanks to its volunteers. They run an open day on the 1st Sunday of every month, or can also be hired for events. The annual ‘Steam Extravaganza’ is held in April. It runs for two days over a weekend and has everything from steam driven shearing shed to full scale sawmill, threshing and chaff cutting, stone crushing and plenty more all power by steam technology. It is a fantastic opportunity for the whole family to see steam in all its glory.
Matariki is a time where people, whānau, and communities gather together to remember the year that has passed, to celebrate the present, and to plan for the next year. It is a time to remember our loved ones who are no longer with us, to feast and celebrate with our relatives and friends, and to look towards the future and the hope of a season full of bounty.
