A Waitaki Arts Festival Event: Join us on a discovery tour to explore the Oamaru that writer Janet Frame knew in the 1930s and 1940s. You’ll visit some of the iconic places of her childhood and learn about her own incredible life story.
There are two tour options during the Waitaki Arts Festival:
- Pick up a free brochure from the Oamaru i-SITE and enjoy a self-guided tour at your leisure.
