Great gift for Xmas
The Wairarapa Archive has just reprinted and updated 'On the Edge', which tells the stories of Wairarapa’s coastal communities from Castlepoint to Cape Palliser. Author, Jim Graydon, writes about the history and development of each settlement and outlines what makes them different and unique. The book is lavishly illustrated, mostly by Jim’s magnificent photographs. Just the best present for anyone who loves the beautiful Wairarapa, especially the coast. This is a great book for your book shelf at the beach. It costs $55.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
