Brian Harrison - Waihi Beach Charters RIP

Juat a note to say how sad we are at the recent passing of Brian Harrison from Waihi Beach charters.

Full of the joys of life and a real character Brian retired from teaching to take up his real love - fishing and  after 30 years of fishing in the area he knew where and when to fish - seldom did he come home with out a feed.

His arrival on the scene here at Waihi Beach was great for tourism as finally we had a fishing charter guy who knew what he was doing, he was safe & reliable and he was someone we could work with - unfortunately not for long.

We extend our sympathy to Judy and her family - Kia Kaha

Rock n Roll cars at Waihi Beach

Really cool to see the preserved cars of yesteryear here at Waihi Beach over the weekend. Their presence drew a reasonable crowd who were keen to see the cars and hear the great music that accompanied the vehicles played by a rock n roll band who had set them selves up on the beach.

Lets hope we can work with the organisers to make this an annual event for the beach and really promote it to get bigger crowds for 2013.

Waihi Beach Fresh Produce Market

Great to see a vibrant fresh produce market at the beach on Sunday - lots of stalls and people patronizing the market. May be something to do with the fine weather at last and may be folk are getting used to seeing the market there every Sunday.
