What do you think about the newly announced festival on Motutapu?
Island Time on Motutapu is a festival to be held over the last weekend in February and is set to feature a smorgasbord of food and drink vendors and music artists.
Festival-goers will be treated to a day long festival on either February 27 or 28 on the island. Tickets range from between $65 to $85, with a portion of ticket sales going towards to wildlife conservation.
Billy Brown, the deputy chairman of Ngāi Tai Ki Tamaki, said that it is an excellent opportunity to showcase the culture of the island and for them to educate visitors about volunteer opportunities on Motutapu.
“In the end, we want a calendar of events on the island, covering sports, arts, food – all of it," he said.

On Thursday, February 4 the wharf was opened with a blessing from Ngāti Whātua, with ferry sailing commencing shortly after. Prior to this, the wharf had been closed since June 2018 for a $2.6m upgrade.
However, a crew member was injured during an on-board incident this week, highlighting the need for additional engineering work to improve safety on vessels during berthing.
As a result of the incident, ferry services have been temporarily suspended. It is not yet known when they can re-commence, again.

The Westlake Boys High School old boys bumped into each other at their military flying training as Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) pilots.
Flying Officer Denzel Williams 24, Flying Officer Aaron Kurte 24, and Flying Officer Tyler Waters 25, all attended the school in Auckland's Forrest Hill.
Kurte and Williams were in the same year and played hockey together, while Waters studied in the year above them.
Despite following different flight paths after leaving school, the trio found themselves on the same pilot's course at the Royal New Zealand Air Force Base in Ohakea.
All three have passed with flying colours with six other new pilots.
Kurte made coffee as a barista while he saved for private flying training.
Williams did odd jobs for a few years and travelled with Kurte before joining the Air Force.
And Waters studied a Batchelor of mechanical engineering at Auckland University where he graduated with honours.

I am/was really pleased with your services. During the process, I really appreciated your and your staff's easy-going, reliable, informative, professional, effective, but at the same time friendly, thoughtful and kind approach. 🙂
As I came from another practice, I have the basis to compare services. Choosing you as a practice when moving to Auckland was one of my best decision I made since being in New Zealand.
Thank you very much again.
