Whangarei Heads Arts Trail draws buyers and exhibitors from across the region for the staging of one of Northlands most diverse arts events. Exhibitors in 2021 include painters, potters, glass workers, jewellers, photographers, printers, flax weavers, metal workers, woodworkers, sculptors, stone carvers, mosaic makers and textile artists. This year the event boasts 10 new exhibitors and sees the return of lots of popular favourites. With contributors ranging from happy amateurs to nationally known artists there is definitely something for everyone's taste and everyone's pocket. The work will be exhibited in locations spread along 35k of beautiful Whangarei Heads coastline. Maps will be available free on line so please check out our web site and facebook page. It is an amazing opportunity to see a truly impressive collection of work embracing a diverse and exciting range of media and it's all packed into one easily accessible route with great food and amazing scenery making it a perfect day out.

This means that there may be an increased volume of water in the Wairua River, and it may be deeper than usual for this time of year. Please take extra care around, in and on the river during this time.
We're very mindful that we need to take care of our environment. All fish and eels will be safely relocated from the head pond and canal downstream while this work is being completed.
If you have any questions of concerns please contact us during business hours on: 0800 667 847.

Friday's tsunami warning after an earthquake in the Kermadec Islands had everyone heading for higher ground.

He then bolted towards Bunnings car park where Nathan lost sight of him. A man pointed that Rafiki had run down Fairway Drive towards Golf View Road. There is a huge amount of gum trees where Rafiki may have hidden away. So Nathan has searched many days and nights..walking all the tracks.
Rafiki is dark brown of medium size. He has a white spotted chest and white spotted front paws and a white tip on his tail. He was wearing a blue collar with name tag.
They did put up a $1000 reward in the hopes that if someone had him he would be returned. This has not happened. There was a thought to be a sighting of Rafiki at the Homestead pub car park around a week after he went missing. And also a thought to be on the 11th of Feb at 10pm on Waipapa road.
Nathan lives in Waipapa so Rafiki could be trying to find his way home.
Rafiki is Nathan's Companion dog and he is desperate to get him home. If you have any information AT ALL please email Rachel Lyon at : missingk9response@yahoo.com
Any information would be very much appreciated - Thank you.

Takarua Ngakuru, 6, from Northland's Tautoro, died on February 13 from what has now been confirmed as meningococcal disease, although the strain is unknown. But those close to him cannot afford the vaccine - do you think this needs to change?
