Panmure is a southern suburb of Auckland City, in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located 11 kilometres southeast of the city centre, close to the western banks of the Tamaki River and the northern shore of the Panmure Basin (or Kaiahiku). To the north lies the suburb of Tamaki, and to the west is the cone of Mount Wellington.
Panmure has had a long history as an industrial and residential suburb, and until the 1950s was at the edge of the Auckland urban area. It was only with the replacing of old bridges by more substantial structures in the 1950s that the area of Pakuranga on the opposing banks of the Tamaki River became a suburban part of Auckland.
NewZealand is situated the same distance eastwards from Australia as London is to Moscow.
The largest city in NewZealand is Auckland, which has a population of approximately 900,000 people, many of whom own Holdens (qv).
By 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi - popularly advertised as NewZealand's founding document - was signed by the Governor of NewZealand (representing Queen Vicky of England) and various Maori chiefs, representing each tribe.
