Auckland - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?

There are Maori crafts and artwork, lots of cool Kiwiana art and items, possum wool sweaters, blankets, etc., and of course, wine. - Jun 2019


Certain types of seafood e.g. paua, kina. Greenstone carvings. - Feb 2015


Apparently not much. There was just a big investigation into NZ-made products and most were found to be made in China. I think the sheepskins are authentic but they are not cheap. - Jul 2011


Hamburgers with sliced beets rather than sliced pickles. Strange. - Mar 2010
