We started with a really interesting talk & tour by Jill & enjoyed tasting the excellent cheese at Mount Eliza Cheese. Paul & I loved the buttery Blue Monkey & Raw Milk Red Leicester. We moved on to Harbourside Macadamias for another excellent presentation & tasting. Yay! They had macadamia brittle, our favourite - macadamia butter, liqueur, oil, plus.... We had an enjoyable tasting of Mills Reef & Leveret Estate wines at The Wine Portfolio & there was a lot of laughter & tall stories on the bus after the visit. We had a tasty Fish & chip lunch at Flat White Cafe before indulging our sweet tooth at Chez Moi Chocolaterie. The White Chocolate with Pistachio & freeze-dried raspberries (GF) was but one of the decadent tastes at this special venue. We'll be redoing this trip every month, but it can also be booked Tuesday- Friday on a date you choose for your own group of ten. Gift vouchers available!

What is a tsunami?

Communications from Tauranga City Council

A tsunami isn’t just one big wave. It is a series of powerful waves with strong currents that move fast.

They are the speed of a car when on land and as fast as a plane when travelling through the ocean. A tsunami cannot be outrun.

If you bus in and out of Tauranga’s central city bus interchange in Willow Street, please be aware that the interchange will be temporarily relocated to Durham Street from the end of March next year as part of the civic precinct redevelopment.

The move from Willow Street to Durham Street (between Wharf and Spring Streets) is needed so the neighbouring Tauranga City Council buildings can be demolished to make way for a new library and community hub building.

The future location of a permanent transport hub hasn’t been decided yet.
