Fonterra Kauri worker Lui Peti has created a series of artworks to demonstrate the site’s strong connection to Northland. The cream process operator created three murals to reflect the community and environment around the site. He used popular Northland scenes - including Shipwreck Bay, Rainbow Falls and Elliot Bay - plus his two children to represent the next generation. The works are on display at Fonterra’s Kauri site.
Pair arrested over robbery
Police arrested two males following a robbery at a commercial address on Klinac Lane in Waipapa on Tuesday. Three men reportedly ran into the store and stole several items before fleeing in a vehicle later stopped by police as it headed south towards Whangārei. An 18-year-old man appeared in the Kaikohe District Court yesterday charged with theft over $1000. The third offender is yet to be found.
Kudos for Northland tourism
Northland’s tourism offerings have been praised in an international travel article. The Sydney Morning Herald’s Traveller section named Northland as one of the 22 most underrated destinations in the world. Other destinations highlighted include Montenegro, Cadiz in Spain, the Solomon Islands and New Zealand’s food offerings.
