The Puke Ariki Museum in Taranaki - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – Backpacker Guide New Zealand

About this video:
Today’s activity on New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year is the Puke Ariki Museum in Taranaki! The Puke Ariki Museum is in the centre of New Plymouth and the perfect rainy day activity in Taranaki.
The Puke Ariki Museum is full of exhibitions from Maori history to natural history and beyond. We spend way too much time in the kid’s exhibition playing on slides and playing on the interactive displays...
After spending a huge amount of time in the free Puke Ariki Museum in Taranki, we head back to our accommodation at the Ducks & Drakes Backpackers where we hear there is a gallery event happening at a barber shop in New Plymouth tonight called the Gallery at Jetcharm. It’s a small pop-up gallery that runs monthly events where a theme is chosen and people can submit their work to be on display on the gallery and put up for sale. It’s a great way for us to meet some creative locals in New Plymouth, Taranaki.
So what do you think of the Puke Ariki Museum in Taranaki? And how about the Gallery at Jetcharm? Let us know in the comments below!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The North British Locomotive Company (NBL, NB Loco or North British) was created in 1903 through the merger of three Glasgow locomotive manufacturing companies; Sharp, Stewart and Company (Atlas Works), Neilson, Reid and Company (Hyde Park Works) and Dübs and Company (Queens Park Works), creating the largest locomotive manufacturing company in Europe and the British Empire.
Its main factories were located at the neighbouring Atlas and Hyde Park Works in central Springburn, as well as the Queens Park Works in Polmadie. A new central Administration and Drawing Office for the combined company was completed across the road from the Hyde Park Works on Flemington Street by James Miller in 1909, later sold to Glasgow Corporation in 1961 to become the main campus of North Glasgow College (now Glasgow Kelvin College).
The two other Railway works in Springburn were St. Rollox railway works, owned by the Caledonian Railway and Cowlairs railway works, owned by the North British Railway. Latterly both works were operated by British Rail Engineering Limited after rail nationalisation in 1948.
In 1918 NBL produced the first prototype of the Anglo-American Mark VIII battlefield tank for the Allied armies, but with the Armistice it did not go into production.
