Graham McBride our local historian has supplied another local history story to continue the 'roads of Te Kowhai' series.
Remember, his stories are all available in his Tales of Te Kowhai book. You can order one direct from Graham by giving him a bell on 07 829 7726.
Te Kowhai Cafe is open for business. They do a mean pie, a fast coffee and a wicked egg and bean bagel stack for breakfast.
Anyway, enough from me.
Te Kowhai News is delivered free to all homes and businesses in RD8. Or check out your digital copy here.
