Abandoned decaying derelict Church, Otuhianga Road, Parirau, Kaipara, Northland, New Zealand
This church started life as a place of Anglican worship for a group of Te Rarawa, who had migrated to Parirau to find work in the nearby gumfields and forests. Known as Zion Church, it was the second Anglican church built on this site on Otuhianga Road and was dedicated in April 188. The church served the Anglican congregation at Parirau until the 1930s when it was transferred to the Ratana congregation. It is currently closed for restoration and the local restoration committee is seeking funds for this work. contact:
