Arch of welcome
![](images/royalArch.jpg)
In 1901 the Duke and Duchess of York visited their dominions in Australasia. They paraded through the decorated streets of Rotorua, under this timber trussed arch which spanned a major intersection in the city. The arch has survived, been shifted to become the gateway to the Government Gardens, and lately been restored.
The Yorks were given a good dose of arches in Australia too.
