The Story of Surfdale

Did you know that Surfdale in Waiheke Island received its name via a competition? The winner was awarded a section of land near the beach...

At 8 pence a day on top of a small deposit, a Surfdale section was also promoted as a sound investment – so close to downtown Auckland that “values must go up and up and up”.

Well, they weren't wrong there.

Today, Waiheke Island brings to mind sunny vineyards and beachy weekend getaways. The image of Waiheke as an “island paradise” has its origins in 1920s marketing, but the island has long been desirable even as its character has changed over the past centuries.

As we go into the long weekend and begin to venture further afield again, why not have a read of how Waiheke came to be the place it is today, in this blog about its recent history by our Project Curator, Jane Groufsky.

Living the dream

Colleen Hawkes Reporter from Homed

It's inspirational to meet a family that's taken the plunge to leave the rat race and establish themselves in the country. This couple not only managed to keep their jobs, but also build a stunning house on the Coromandel Peninsula that has caught the eye of NZIA judges.

Giving away our pre loved printer and scanner - Canon

Manasi from Beach Haven

We are giving away our pre loved printer and scanner. Details below:

This compact multifunction printer with fax, ADF scanner and copier functions has served us well for many years.

Recently I had to replace the print-head which I had bought already about a year ago, but turned out to be faulty. The PGBK colour which is the big black colour does not print a sharp line in the middle part. All cleaning and troubleshooting attempts failed and every odd line of text looks blurry in Standard paper setting. If you change the paper setting to i.e. matte photo paper it prints normal but with a bit more ink involved.

We cannot be bothered now with it any-more as we got us a replacement printer already during the whole trouble shooting process.

So we are giving this one away for free as it is still fully usable otherwise and could be fixed completely in getting another print-head. Well I do not know if the Wifi connection works as I tried a couple of years ago and failed to get it to connect to our Wifi network. Works well with LAN or USB connections.

It comes with its original packaging and all parts, including a CD tray to print on printable Disc media. Also included are two sets of refillable cartridges that have saved us a lot of money.

It is still connected to our network to be viewed and inspected by any interested party.

Photos attached.

If you are interested, please let me know.

Thanks

Always wanted to try and bake your own bread?
Sourdough is a bread raised by aerobic yeast (yeasts in the atmosphere) that are captured in a mixture of flour and water and fed regularly to keep them alive. There are many different ways to make a sourdough starter — some people insist on using mineral water to feed the starter, others use water from boiled potatoes to get the starter going. It’s very effective to get a cup of someone else’s starter that you can then feed and grow yourself. Other people have sourdough starters that have been handed down through generations, but there’s no need for all that fuss: it’s incredibly easy to make your own.
