🌅 History of Environmental Change in the Kaipara 🌅

Ann-Narie Petty-OShea from Whangarei District Libraries

Archaeologist James Robinson will talk about the Kaipara, a shallow drowned valley with extensive rivers and waterways, forming the second-largest estuarine harbour in the Southern Hemisphere. Its rich environment was extremely conducive for Māori and European utilisation and settlement. However, this resulted in significant, though not fully understood, environmental change.
James will examine archaeological and historical evidence to try to understand the causes of this change.
📅 Wednesday, 27 August 11:00am - 12:00pm
⚠ VENUE CHANGE
📍 The Whangārei Club, 18 Rust Avenue, Whangārei
🎫 Free entry - No prior registration needed

Morning Aches Are Optional - Let’s Start the Year Sleeping Better

Marketing Manager from Beds4U - Whangarei

Hey neighbours,

Waking up with sore shoulders and stiff mornings? Here’s the plot twist - it might actually be your mattress (and pillow) letting you down.

It’s the perfect time to upgrade. New Year, New Bed! Our Boxing Day Sale is still on, so why not treat yourself to a mattress that actually supports you and helps you wake up refreshed? Side sleeper? Back sleeper? Tossing and turning? We’ve got tips and solutions for every kind of snoozer.

Don’t settle for mornings that hurt, your bed should work with you, not against you. Curious about how your mattress could be affecting your shoulders? Check out our blog: beds4u.co.nz...
