The former curator of the Whangarei Fish Museum, George Campbell, still has a large collection at his Onerahi home and at the weekend the public got what will possibly be the last chance to have a look at them.

Campbell, who ran the Whangarei Fish Museum at the Town Basin until it closed in 2001, opened his Onerahi home to the public on Saturday to show his collection of fishes, eels and other sea creatures, like sea horses.
Granddaughter Alyce Charlesworth, said Campbell aged 83, and was downscaling his collection but wanted to give the public one last chance to see it in its current form.
