Hi everyone, my wife and I will be staying in Palmerston North over the Labour Day weekend while we attend the rail centenerary celebrations at Fielding.
On Labour Day itself, will the town be open as normal (shopping, bars, restos etc.) as we would like a quiet day before heading off for Auckland on the steam special on Tuesday 28th Oct.?
Failing that, any suggestions as to how to spend the day without travelling on trains would be appreciated by my long suffering wife!
Most shops and all restaurants are open on Labour Day. Shops in NZ are only closed on Christmas Day and Good Friday and the morning of ANZAC Day. (Hope I did not forget any... ;-)
As you want to spend a quiet day I do not dare to make any good suggestions on how to spend the day in a more interesting way than eating, drinking, and shopping ;-)
Hi Sissi, thanks for that and congrats on your athletics achievements.
Thank you :-)
Have to go to the gym now to keep my muscles strong ;-)
And to you a great time in Palmy!
THIS YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE TO SEE < BUT THE MAIN POINT IS THE RAILWAY USED TO GO THROUGH THE MIDLE OF THE CITY AND A BRAVE AN EXPENSIVE MOVE WAS MADE TO SHIFT THE WHOLE RAILWAY, YARDS, STATION, WORKSHOPS ETC
This photo was taken of the last train in 1964 and is going up a slight rise in Main Street, going past the City Cemetary.
