Ultimate Frisbee and When/ If Someone Has Never Thrown a Frisbee, Where Did It Originate? Are Turnovers
March 2021 Ultimate Denby Scott PHOTO CREDIT: Frisbee Owen Ellington reaching for the win on Ōākura beach Hello TOP people ‘I need you, you need me, together we make a great team’ With the recent change in Covid levels this quote sums it up for me. Once again and seemingly not for the last time, we were all asked to do our bit for our country and each other. I need you, to do your ‘bit’, so I and those dear to me, get the best chance of not contracting covid. ‘You need me’ to do my ‘bit’ to keep you and yours well. Without each oth- er it would be a lot more difficult to achieve. Thank you for watching out for me and rest as- sured I am doing my best to watch out for you. This quote is also true for getting The Ōākura Post published each month. I need you to keep getting the stories to me so I can get your mes- “Kawa is what we do, sage out, and as a community we all benefit. Be proud of the effort put in so far, we are the tikanga is how we do it.” envy of the world right now and we all made that happen. Tracey Te Reo Māori is the kawa. How Te Reo Māori is spoken is the tikanga. Kawa is the policy and tikanga are the procedures on how the policy is realised. The Ōākura Post To put it simply, kawa is what we do, tikanga is how we do it. -
SURF HIGHWAY 45 Your Guide to the Touring Route Around Taranaki’S Coastline
SURF HIGHWAY 45 Your guide to the touring route around Taranaki’s coastline taranaki.co.nz/visit WELCOME TO THE SURF HIGHWAY Surf Highway 45 is the 105km coastal route connecting New Plymouth (1) in the north to Hāwera (2) in the south. Between these centres there are dozens of notable places to stop, from surf breaks, beaches, points of historic and cultural interest, scenic spots, and cafés in vibrant and welcoming villages. A journey along the Surf Highway traces the route of generations of surfers, but it offers much more than just surf. The highway weaves through a number of Taranaki’s stories – the surf, the landscape, the rich history, and the creativity, all the while under the watchful gaze of Taranaki Maunga. For more information head to taranaki.co.nz/visit RICH IN HISTORY Taranaki’s history begins with our picture-perfect ancestor Taranaki Maunga and his mythical journey from the Central Plateau (brokenhearted after losing a battle for Mount Pihanga) and includes historic land battles, the birth of the passive resistance movement, and pioneering industrial growth, all of which have contributed to modern-day Taranaki and the many vivid stories we have to tell. These stories are best experienced through the many museums on offer, with the following located on or near Surf Highway 45. • New Plymouth’s waterfront Puke Ariki (1) is a museum, library and i-SITE providing information about the city’s past and present. A fascinating guided walk is also available – book at the i-SITE, 1 Ariki St, New Plymouth. • Tawhiti Museum and Traders & Whalers (3) has been repeatedly judged one of the country’s best museums, and has to be experienced to be believed. -
