you think everything is sorted and then ...

AGM in Wanganui end of April 2011 and I am looking forward to it.

I was going to attend to help in whatever capacity to get the Trust moving forward. Have now found out things are happening in the background that are bigger than the beach and may turn the situation into a political stoush.

The Marine and Coastal Area Act allows me to go to Court and contest customary title if you meet criteria and I'm sure we probably do.

Problem is why? What is the end goal is in mind? How is that going to help the beneficiaries of the beach?

I am sure more details will follow...

Site of former bach



This used to be a bach. I love the sign.

Greenhouse



This greenhouse is situated over a hill behind the baches. Must be a new initiative as I didn't know it existed until I stumbled upon it.

7th - Bach



This is the first bach you see out at the beach and is part of the second group of baches. This property is fenced off and made up of a cabin, a bus and a number of caravans and sheds. It is my understanding that someone lives here permanently.
