Napier - The Sound Shell was the scene of big bands in the 1940s, roller skating derbies in the 1950's and now for public meetings or events. It is really beautiful right on the beach with huge Norfolk Pines. The Norfolk Pines were all raised up 2 metres after the earthquake and looked like they would die but survived miraculously. The ASB bank is interesting because it includes Maori design outside and inside.
