True Tales of Glenbervie
Have you ever lived in the Glenbervie area (including Whareora, Kiripaka, West Ngunguru)?
If so, you undoubtedly have some favourite – or not-so-favourite – memories of your time spent here.
We need these stories, to be included in a ‘True Tales of Glenbervie’ book being compiled to preserve memories of our way of life, both present and past, for future generations to enjoy and wonder at.
Hikurangi, Kamo, Onerahi, Whangarei Heads and Great Barrier Island are just some of the areas which have already published ‘True Tales’ books. (These can be seen/purchased locally or at Paper Plus stores and the concept can be researched at www.truetales.co.nz...).
Each story is no longer than 1500 words, with several photos where possible.
Please contact Barbara Herman, barb@venture-gear.com or phone 4375347 if you think you have a story to share. We can help you write it if you feel you need help.
Any proceeds from the book will be used to preserve the physical history of the area.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
