Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Matanaka - Granary, Privy & Schoolhouse.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on June 3, 2014.

If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:12, 18 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Picture of the day

Three structures on Matanaka Farm (from left to right: the granary, privy and schoolhouse), the oldest surviving farm buildings in New Zealand that are still in their original positions. Established by the Australian whaler Johnny Jones in 1838, the construction of the farm's structures began in 1840. After passing through several families, the site is now owned and administered by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust.Photograph: Karora
