Meet Shane Brearley, one of our Pilots.

“It is all about getting the patient where they need to go – we often don’t know what is happening with the patient until after the mission is completed.” And the calls come thick and fast some days.

A combination of hospital transfers or a full rescue in the rural reaches of Northland’s rugged landscapes – or a long flight over the ocean to a ship or vessel out at sea – its always an unknown of what lays ahead.

No two days are the same, and each and every time the pilots have to ensure the choppers are ready. “It’s always different. Each mission, it is nice to know you are making a difference.

We are there as a pilot to transport these people who need help to get where they need to go, whether it’s a hospital transfer for urgent surgery or a full rescue scenario,” he says.

Please help us keep saving Northland lives by donating today.

Is everyone aware that there is a suggestion at Whangarei District Council that the BACH/Mokaba etc section of the award-winning Town Basin development be demolished for parking for tourist buses?
a) How many tourist buses are they expecting (in excess of those ones that stop at the moment) on how many days in each year?
b) Why can't they use either the area currently leased to Wilson Parking or the old Toyota yard?
c) Aren't all the businesses in that part of the complex ones that the tourist will want to visit?

Poll: Would you pay to use your neighbours' swimming pool?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

People rent out baches, rooms in their houses, their garages and car parking spaces, so surely hiring out swimming pools is the next logical step.

A new app lets people hire their private pools by the hour, but it hasn't come to New Zealand - yet.
