Saturday afternoon we heard a car engine, or several engines in turn, scream at maximum revs in the vicinity of the Kauri Hall for 20 minutes, half an hour, 3/4 of an hour? It is hard to judge, because such a thing seems to last longer than it really does, quite often.

It is hard to judge, because such a thing seems to last longer than it really does, quite often.
A few minutes after 22:00 the same thing happened again. I was considering calling police, but figured that was probably a waste of time, when the noise stopped.
Going out this morning, there were shreds of tyres, quite literally, shreds all over Apotu Road and the intersections Crane Rd. and with SH1, not to mention lots of skid marks.
It baffles me what these people thought they were achieving. I now think it would've been a good idea to go down and take a photo or two of them while they were at it. Maybe next time I will. But why anyone would go and destroy their car in this fashion is beyond me. They must have ended up with bare rims when they were done, considering the amount of chunks of rubber left behind.
Nothing could stop Hollie and Andrew Welsh from tying the knot in Bream Bay on March 5 - not a terminal cancer diagnosis and certainly not a tsunami warning. What do you think of their story?

Ben the orca was stranded in 1997 and hit by a boat in 1998, giving his dorsal fin a unique shape. Since then, he has been spotted 140 times, giving researchers important information about where NZ orca swim to. Have you ever seen Ben around Whangārei?

Buy an adult ticket to Kiwi North and bring up to 3 kids along for free. That includes entry to the Kiwi House and Whangarei Museum .
The kiwi are most active at 11am, 1pm and 3pm when they're getting fed, so that's an ideal time to watch these little guys in their home.
While you're here, tractors and train rides are on at Heritage Park. Whangarei Model Engineering Club mini train rides are $2.00, Steam and Model Railway Club big train rides are $2.50 and Northland Vintage Machinery Club tractor rides are $2.50. It's a pretty special way to see the park for kids and big kids alike.
See you there!
