History of Queens Park

Senga White is a local history storyteller, podcaster and educator. She is also the heritage
events and activities project manager for Heritage South and is passionate about sharing
the history stories that have helped shape our province.
Under her Senga’s Stories brand, she has been telling tales at 360 at the Langlands over a
cuppa or a glass of bubbles and, as part of her History Detectives in Action education
programme, she can be spotted in her pink jacket taking classes from local schools on
Walking Tour Experiences around the Invercargill CBD or along the Otepuni sharing the
history of our city with the younger generation. She has plans to develop these into local
history walking tours as a visitor experience and a fun, informative family activity for the
community.
Senga has a series of local history podcasts in pre-production and, as the co-host and
researcher for Check It Out on Radio Southland, she created episodes, including a series to
complement the South Invercargill Heritage Trail, which you can listen to through the Check
It Out page on Spotify https://spoti.fi/4g9E9RT.
What she loves best is connecting with people through stories and personal recollections, so
