Do you think the Mangamuka Gorge is open for long enough?

Denise Piper Reporter from Whangārei Leader

State Highway 1 at the Mangamuka Gorge opens at midday on Friday to one-way traffic for the first time since Northland's one-in-500-year storm closed the road with a series of major slips five months ago. But the road is only open until January 11, meaning traffic will have to use SH10 again … View moreState Highway 1 at the Mangamuka Gorge opens at midday on Friday to one-way traffic for the first time since Northland's one-in-500-year storm closed the road with a series of major slips five months ago. But the road is only open until January 11, meaning traffic will have to use SH10 again after that. Do you think it is open for long enough or should it stay open until the busy summer holiday period is over?

He had six prior drink-driving convictions before her death on April 19. That day he spent seven hours drinking - including driving to the shops to replenish his stock - before getting behind the wheel again. Beattie-Rihari's brother said Sale could have just walked around Moerewa after he had been drinking. What are other ways of getting around Northland without drink-driving?

Small Tractor Wanted

If you are out in a boat this Summer...

Respect the locals.

Domestic tourism is likely to see the Bay of Island’s marine environment busier than ever this year. Whilst we all like to enjoy the sunshine and unique marine environment the Bay has to offer, we all have a responsibility to protect what makes it so special.

Te Pēwhairangi/Bay of Islands bottlenose dolphins spend 86% of their day with boats. The population has sadly declined by 91% since 1997 to just 26 individuals.

There are marine mammal regulations to reduce the effect boats have on the bottlenose dolphins, and other marine mammals. Following these regulations is crucial to marine mammals continuing their normal behaviours critical to survival – such as feeding, resting and nursing their young.

See full regulations list at: www.doc.govt.nz.....
