Rangitoto Island Historic Conservation Trust
 New Zealand  |  Arts/Culture

To conserve and interpret the historic Bach Communities on Rangitoto Island for the benefit of all New Zealanders.

Rangitoto Islands' unique geological and natural attributes are of international interest. What is less known is that the three Bach Settlements of Rangitoto Wharf, Islington Bay and Beacon End are also of national importance. Because other bach communities, which were prevalent throughout the country, have virtually disappeared, the Rangitoto bach settlements are irreplaceable artefacts of New Zealand's architectural, and social history and therefore are important beyond their locality.
