Just follow that river

Morningside, Whangarei, with the Hatea River/Whangarei inner harbour meandering its way to the sea. Onerahi is on the right.

A quick spin around the lake

Hamilton Lake (very close to Hamilton's cbd) is a very popular recreation area.

The bird decides it's best to wait for a paddle until the model boat has finished.

Kawakawa will be full of firefighters this weekend

Kawakawa is hosting the Northland Fire Camp this weekend, where volunteers from throughout the region will attend exercise fires, vehicle crashes etc, to hone their skills.

The photo is from a recent building burn for practice they held at Moerewa.

Most brigades are short staffed. If you might be interested in possibly joining them they'd love to see you.

Fireworks time again soon

Every Guy Fawkes day a public fireworks display is held at Okara Park, Whangarei.

This photo is from there.
