DOLLARS & SENSE - Way back 25 years or so ago the commercial sand dredgers regularly dredged the harbour bar.
DISGUSTED - What is the matter with these people? The proposal to destroy all the mangroves 
GOOD S**T - The information evening about modern waste water treatment in the library hall
ECO-VANDALISM - Every time I drive over the Mangawhai Beach School causeway at low tide I wind my window up.

Worzels World - Why all the secrecy?

Where once we had open Government, open judiciary and business of the non-criminal variety was conducted transparently, now we have, it seems, without too many questions being asked, moved into the age of ‘confidentiality’.  Secret witnesses give testimony in court, employment contracts have confidentiality clauses and Governments negotiate trade agreements on behalf of people from whom the content is hidden.​


 

Looking Back

BIG RAIN: Remember the wet New Year? It was no deterrent for this Auckland family. Longtime regulars to Mangawhai, Sarah Fortune and Tony Hellriegel and kids Tadhg, Felix and toddler Stella were intent on enjoying the weather whatever it was so, all geared up, they hit the beach regardless.
