Historic Kopu Bridge open gates
Are you a keen photographer or birdwatcher? Do you love the early morning light? On Saturday 30th January, during Dawn to Dusk, Historic Kōpū Bridge’s gates will be open from 5.30am to 8.30pm. Photographers and birdwatchers love early morning and late afternoon and as well Dawn to Dusk is timed to coincide with a high tide at 9am. This is ideal for morning fishing either side of the high tide. For safety reasons, fishing will be restricted to just one passing bay from 8am to 10am, and numbers will be limited, so please check with a volunteer before you start fishing. Dawn to Dusk is a perfect opportunity to spend time on the historic bridge, the only surviving swing span in NZ. Include Historic Kōpū Bridge in you day out if you are attending Wings and Wheels at Thames Airfield (10am to 3pm).

Purple Poppy Day Saturday 21st February
Thames Museum Te Whare Taonga o te Kauaeranga is delighted to be working with Thames RSA to hold our town’s first Purple Poppy Day on 21st February. Purple Poppy day is held throughout the Commonwealth to honour the animals that served and died during WWI and WWII and continue to serve in current conflicts.
Our inaugural Purple Poppy Day features creatures from glowworms and pigeons to camels and elephants.
The competition on the day, PEOPLE AND PETS WEAR PURPLE and/or KHAKI is a fun way to get involved, with lots of neat prizes.
PEOPLE AND PETS WEAR PURPLE and/or KHAKI will be held weather permitting. All other activities will take place inside the museum is the weather isn’t so good.
Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
