Issue 113 -September 2024

 

Your FREE monthly magazine of all things Millwater & the Coast

​

I know everyone loves spring, but as coastal residents I’m pretty sure we’re allowed to be extra-amped by the arrival of warmer weather and the opportunity to get out more amongst the ridiculously beautiful landscapes that surround us. So hello September and your higher Celsius readings. We’re very pleased to see you. 

On the cover this month we are thrilled to feature MorArt, owned by clever Coastie artist Debbie Morgan. The MorArt stores in Silverdale Mall (where Siren Boutique used to be), Coast Plaza (the original), and further afield in Milford and Queenstown, all stock a stunning collection of gifts and art designed and/or made in New Zealand, so every purchase supports someone in New Zealand’s creative community. When you pop along to have a look at all their goodies, do yourself a favour and pick up a packet of locally made Coast Fudge while you’re there. 

For more things local, we have a check in with the new principal at Orewa College, Wiri Warriner, we take a visit to the local petanque club and we celebrate the long service of some true legends volunteering at Coastguard Hibiscus. We also bring you details of environmentally friendly initiatives on the Coast, such as The Repair Café, sustainable sewing workshops and the local toy library, and for those who feel it’s time to head off for a holiday, we take you right to the bottom of the South Island for a hike around Lake Hawea and an awe-inspiring exploration of Dusky Sounds. 

Please, pop your feet up and enjoy.
