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.
