She has always been a person interested in crafts working with polished rocks for example. Marion started making jewellery with a view to have a stall at Thames Market once she retired. Her pieces are all genuine, self-created. “It all comes from me, it’s all me,” she laughs when asked where she gets the ideas from for her designs. “I love sparkly things, crystals and that kind of thing.” You will find all sorts of colours on her table except yellow and orange. “I do the colours I like, so you won’t find [them here] because I never wear yellow or orange.” As she lives on a farm in the Omahu Valley, jewellery enthusiasts can also stock up on walnuts, macadamia nuts, feijoas, and mandarins – even if they are orange.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.
Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.
Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

As seas continue to rise and tropical storms become more intense this is the future facing many Thames-Coromandel coastal towns like Whitianga, Tairua, Coromandel, Te Puru, Thames, and Whangamata and elsewhere. Meanwhile, TCDC is concentrating on beach erosion. Sure it's a problem, but it is tiny compared to the threat from storm surge and coastal flooding.
If you are a local coastal property owner are you willing to play "real estate roulette"? And why are you not banging on the council's door demanding that it take this issue much more seriously?

More than 1100 cyclists are expected to take part in the Flight Centre K2 Road Cycle Classic and associated events, being held on Saturday, 27 October 2018. The 200km race starts in a different town each year, and this year starts and finishes in Coromandel Town.
In the lead-up, to the event, we always experience greater numbers of cyclists on our road as they come here to train on the course. Be patient when travelling and remember, cyclists have a right to space on the road and need extra room at intersections and roundabouts.
Hazards such as parked cars, potholes or strong wind may cause cyclists to veer off-line and move into your path. Because of this, give cyclists plenty of room - ideally, allow at least 1.5m between you and the cyclist.
Other tips for safe driving around cyclists include:
• Wait for a clear space before passing a cyclist on a narrow road.
• At intersections, apply the same rules to cyclists that you would to any other vehicle on the road. Take care to indicate turns and check carefully for cyclists before turning at, or moving through an intersection.
• Take extra care around young cyclists.
Hi Waikato,

What's the highest price per litre of fuel you've paid for recently? Petrol prices are skyrocketing around the country, with some Kiwi motorists shelling out more than $3 a litre for fuel!
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern claims that New Zealanders are being "fleeced" at the pump, but petrol companies are pushing back on those claims.
The Government plans to rush through changes to an act, which will allow a watchdog to investigate the margins on fuel. Click here to read more about how your rising fuel taxes will be spent.
So what are your thoughts on the current price of fuel? Can you and your family afford it? Do you think the current prices need to be investigated? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
