Polish community groups. The site has information
about Poles and Polish heritage in New Zealand. It
links to the website of the Polish Heritage Trust
of New Zealand.
This is the site of one of New Zealand’s Polish
associations, which gives access to news about
Poland as well as information about the
association’s activities.
