A day away in the Bay Outback Opera, surfer’s secrets and a million dollar view at Okurei Point Magical Maketu is located on Okurei Point, just 20 minutes away from Bayfair.

The Tauranga Eastern Link has pulled this coastal town closer to Tauranga, and along with it Newdicks Beach, which is on the south-eastern side of Okurei Point; and Little Waihi.

I know it’s only 20 minutes, because our photographer Bruce Barnard drove while I held the stopwatch. With the new 110km speed limit starting, there could be another minute shaved off.

Maree Lewis, who used to own the local takeaway shop with husband Tom, gave a history talk over fish and chips to a gathering of descendants of settlers who arrived in NZ before December 31, 1865.

I went along to hear it, and found the English part of me fitted right in, as my ‘great-greats’ George and Cornelia Harvey emigrated from Somerset in 1856.

“In early times Maketu was a busy little port, and the ocean and estuary were teaming with fish,” says Maree. “The surrounding valleys were very fertile. The low-lying countryside used to be swamp when Tom and I lived here.”

Described now as wetlands, according to Maree it was once covered in head-high flax.

“All the way from Papamoa to Whakatane. Through this flax Maori had tracks to Rotorua, Matata and through Te Puke to Tauranga. Most of those tracks you would be driving on today - they have only slightly been altered.”

Bubs and Ian Foden, who have managed the Bledisloe Holiday Park in Little Waihi for 17-18 years, reckon the Tauranga Eastern Link has shaved 12 minutes off their usual trip to Tauranga.

Little Waihi is the little sandy peninsular jutting south-eastwards into the Waihi estuary, east of Maketu, and has been one of the most popular beach resorts for camping, picnicking, swimming and fishing in the Western Bay of Plenty. Across the estuary is Pukehina, about 25km by road.

Bubs broke a jandal about three years ago.

“We all have a cup of tea and a chat in the morning at about 8am, Ian and Norm, and me. I said ‘oh no I’ve broken my jandal.’ Then I thought ‘I’ll start a jandal fence!’ Well they looked at me as if ‘well here she goes, having one of her moments’. So I did. I started a jandal fence.”

hay years ago. Visiting Australians named it the ‘Outback Opera’.

“People from Maketu borrow it, and take it over on an old tractor,” says Bubs. It opens up to reveal a stage area and is used for beachside events.

Back at the Maketu Beachside Café, manager Maraea Kiel, originally from Matakana Island, enthuses about what she calls ‘magical Maketu’.

“We have 40 bus-loads of 40 cruise ship passengers coming through this season,” says Maraea. “They come here for our seafood chowder and fish and chips, and of course our million dollar view.”

She looks out towards Matakana Island.

“I can see home from here,” she smiles. She mentions that the beach below the cafe is perfect for swimming and surfing. Nearby are toilets, showers and changing rooms with life guards working over the summer.

Maraea often shares with visitors the earlier history of Maketu which is the traditional landing site of Te Arawa canoe more than 800 years ago, when several migrations came from Polynesia. Maketu is named after an ancient kumara pit in Hawaiki – the place from which Maori originally sailed their waka to New Zealand.

“You will spot a diving platform in the middle of the channel where the Kaituna River flows out into the ocean,” says Maree. “It sits on top of the

Takaparore rock to which the bow of the huge canoe was fastened when that voyage ended. The stern rock – Tuterangiharuru - which was visible in the 1950s is presently covered by sand. It’s around to the right of the motel and camping ground.

“The early people made their homes on the hilltop.

When James Cook passed by he observed that there were thousands of people living on these hills.”

We drive up to the point above Newdicks Beach. It’s possible, on a clear day, to see from the Mount to the East Coast and out to Whale Island and beyond.

The private road descending through pohutakawa to the beach below is maintained through donations from visitors. Quail run ahead, as we wind down to one of the most beautiful beach spots in the Bay - a surfer’s secret and great for swimming. One toilet, cliffs, rock pools, sand dunes, large boulders and a stream flowing out onto the beach, Newdicks Beach also has an iconic pohutukawa tree that locals try to preserve despite it being undermined by storms.

The Maketu Ongatoro Wetland Society – MOWS works with other organisations to maintain the natural ecology, and ensure NZ dotterel, shags and little blue penguins can safely nest.

Over the summer, we recommend escaping to Maketu for a coffee and a swim, and take some time to learn a bit about some of our early Maori and Rosalie Liddle Crawford European history.

Virtually on Track Capturing summer’s magic moments This summer, Sport Bay of Plenty is encouraging you to grab your sunhat, slap on some sunscreen and get out amongst nature with your smartphone in hand.

Wait, what?

But doesn’t that go against the grain of putting down the digital devices in favour of the natural world?

Well, in fact, it’s part of a “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” mantra from the regional sports trust, to accept that if people aren’t going to put down their screens, it’s about finding creative ways to utilise technology for the benefit of outdoor recreation and adventure.

It’s why Sport Bay of Plenty set up Virtually on Track in 2015 - a collaborative project with the Department of Conservation (DOC) and Sport New Zealand that uses digital technology to increase conservation awareness and recreational activity in the numerous parks, reserves and forests in the Bay of Plenty – or Gem Sites as the project calls them.

With a key focus on active families, Virtually on Track has run a number of activities during the school holidays, all using technology in some way to get the whole whanau exploring and making memories in the beautiful Bay. Previous activities have included a Join the Gems photo competition and goosechase challenge, an Amazing Race-style app that requires users to complete missions and send in video or photo evidence of their success.

These summer holidays are no different, with a photo/video competition called What’s Your Magisto Moment? Magisto is a free app for Apple or Android

phones which takes your photos and videos and creates a mini movie of your experiences. It’s an easy and unique way to document your adventures in the outdoors.

The Sport Bay of Plenty team have been trialling the programme in their own backyard, with cycle trips and hikes, and Recreation Advisor Lauren Atkinson says families are sure to love the process of capturing fun family moments and turning them into a short clip they can look back on.

“It’s something a bit different than your usual summer photo competition,” says Lauren. “The app creates such a cool end clip that people will want to share their memories with others, instead of the photos just collecting up space on their phone, often not to be looked back on.”

As part of the competition, families have to incorporate a conservation message into their clip, whether it is a snap of their little one hugging a tree, a family day out taking part in a dune clean up or planting, or drawing a big love heart on the sand on one of our many beaches.

“As part of our pairing with DOC, our focus is as much about giving back to the land as it is enjoying what it has to offer,” says Lauren.

“We think it is important to highlight this in the activities we do, and we look forward to seeing what you come up with!”

What’s Your Magisto Moment? competition is running from December 18 to February 4, with a number of great experiences and prizes to be won, thanks to our generous local sponsors.

Brian Wright in front with members of the Bethlehem Te Puna Lions at the Minden Lookout.

Minden Makeover Jewel of the Western Bay The Minden Lookout has had a makeover in time for summer.

The lookout at the top of Minden Road was built 40 years ago in 1977 by the Bethlehem Te Puna Lions and opened in 1978. Back then they were known as the Omokoroa Te Puna Lions.

Brian Wright was president in 1978 when the lookout was finished.

“There were three presidents involved,” says Brian.

“One during the planning and start, one during the build, and I was involved when we finished it.”

Approximately 10 km west of Tauranga, the Minden Lookout is situated about 240m above sea level, just off State Highway 2 in Te Puna, and boasts views of the Bay of Plenty, Tauranga city and the surrounding communities.

The multiple levelled viewpoint structure features both covered and open air space, with some picnic tables below. One of the highlights, apart from the stunning outlook, is the circular metal map showing the names of nearby islands and locations.

Considered to be one of the Western Bay of Plenty’s landscape jewels, the Minden Lookout has hundreds of visitors per week, with some of the local tourist operators including it in a bus tour of key attractions for cruise ship passengers.

Ian Calvert, a member of the Lions Club, is also a driver for a local tour company.

“I think there are probably at least three 40-seater bus loads for every boat coming up here,” says Ian. “After stopping at the Minden Lookout, they go to

The Bethlehem Te Puna Lions continue to maintain the Minden Lookout, with their website recording clean ups and maintenance carried out in 1993, 1997 and 1999. In 2014, painting was undertaken as well as the replacement of the stainless steel direction sign after it had been damaged.

In August 2014, the Bethlehem Te Puna Lions celebrated their 40th Charter Anniversary with a commemoration service at the Minden Lookout.

This year, Western Bay of Plenty District Council have smartened up the parking area in time for

summer, and built a footpath to keep visitors safely off the roadway while getting off the tourist buses.

The gardens have also been replanted by council, with old shrubs replaced with new.

No longer tired looking, the Minden Lookout is refreshed and ready for summer.

Meeters and Greeters Welcoming passengers to Tauranga Cruise ship season got underway with the arrival of the 108,865 tonne Golden Princess on October 10. Over 80 cruise ships and thousands of passengers are expected in to the Port of Tauranga over 70 days, with two or three cruise ships coming on the same day, and at least one overnight ship. Tourism Bay of Plenty head of marketing, Kath Low, expects the economic impact for the region to be approximately $45m.

On disembarking, passengers are greeted and met by a range of ambassadors, guides and tour operators.

Natalie Rikirangi and her family are contracted to pose for photographs with passengers. Nearly 400 photos were taken on the first day on the job as tourists engaged with the group, who are affiliated to three local iwi.

Nearby is Bethlehem Coachlines ‘The Pink Lady’ Kathryn Bushbridge. Usually Karen Beaumont is in this role, but occasionally, when she is not available, someone else steps in. On another day Trevor, who wishes to keep his surname anonymous, finds himself gloriously and rather reluctantly behatted.

“Well, the tourists are told on the cruise ship to look out for ‘the lady in the pink hat’”, says Karen.

“So when they get off and are trying to find where we are, if we’ve got the hat on, they see us straight away.”

The ‘Pink Hat Lady’ has become an iconic feature of the collective of tour operators who vie individually for the attention and custom of passengers.

Barry Lusher has been a smiling friendly face for the last seven years. He’s recognised as the one in charge.

“The prime thing is health and safety,” says Barry.

“I look after the positioning of the buses and tour operators so they park properly. Passenger safety is our priority. I’m also an ambassador meeting and greeting them, guiding them to where they want to go.”

He quickly turns to meet some passengers who look mildly dazed and puzzled.

“Can I help you?” he greets them with a bright smile. Moments later, happy and relaxed, they set off in the direction of their tour bus.

Salisbury Avenue is closed until about 10.30am on the first day as new staff and tour operators ‘learn the ropes’.

“After this, the road closure bookings are made through Tauranga City Council and will be publicised,” says Barry. “Usually because of more than one ship in port.”

The business of where the tour operators and buses can park is often hotly discussed among the drivers.

There are rumours that some of the larger buses are allowed directly into the port area this year, ready to whisk away large numbers of passengers direct to Tauranga’s CBD. Smaller vans and tour operators meet around dawn at Blake Park for what they call ‘the draw’, which

8 December, 21 August,2017 2015

“We welcome them, see if they want any help with anything, and point them in the direction of our beautiful Mount Maunganui walks, shops and hot pools”

determines their arrival order at Salisbury Avenue.

Dedicated numbered parking is provided inside the wharf car park on The Mall. Every ship day they enter a new draw.

“That’s so someone doesn’t pinch the best spots every time,” says Barry. “This makes it fairer.”

The larger buses usually park outside the police building on Salisbury Avenue and along The Mall.

Again, this is about public safety.

Jennifer Hayes and Christine Potter, volunteer guides from the Lioness Club Mount Maunganui and District, are also there on the first day to greet passengers.

“We have two-to-three people meeting each ship that comes in with passengers over 1000,” says Christine, who coordinates about 30 volunteers in conjunction with Mount Mainstreet.

“We welcome them, see if they want any help with anything, and point them in the direction of our beautiful Mount Maunganui walks, shops and hot pools.”

This is very helpful given that when passengers disembark, one of the first street signs they see reads ‘The Mall’, and points in the general direction of Mauao. A misunderstanding can ensue at this point, as the word ‘mall’ conjures up the idea of a vast shopping complex located somewhere around the Mount Hot Pool area.

Passengers have been found looking lost on the corner of Commons Avenue and Maunganui Road, after circling the block. On asking if they’d like assistance, there is usually an explanation similar to

‘I was just wanting to go to the chemist to get some new sunglasses’, before pointing them back in the direction of Mount Main Street.

The Pepi Toot train and a large seated motorcycle provide tours around the beach and shopping area, giving visitors an overview of the Mount peninsula.

And everywhere, friendly faces greet the one-day guests.

“We love it,” says Christine. “We’re so proud of our area and just want to promote it. People say it’s so nice to have lovely, welcoming friendly faces.”

An Italian Christmas

Is it a cake or a bread? The answer is it’s neither – it’s panettone, and an Italian Christmas wouldn’t be the same without it. At Vetro you can find the classic version or some lovely special panettones that make amazing gifts. So the big question is, how do we eat this?

There are so many things you can do with a panettone, so why not try eating it on its own after dinner with a liqueur or coffee, lightly toasted for breakfast or made into a classy bread pudding.

You can also use it as a base for a one of a kind trifle. Use marcapone and ricotta, sprinkle with your favourite liqueur, add summer berries, a generous sprinkle of grated chocolate throughout and let your imagination go wild. It’s also great sliced and made into French toast, as this recipe proves: French Toast 1 panettone, paper removed Syrup: 6 large eggs 1 cup water 3/4 cup cream 1 packed cup brown sugar 3/4 cup whole milk 2 tablespoons whipping cream 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese Serving suggestion: powdered sugar and assorted fresh berries

Recipe from

Directions For the syrup: In a medium saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil over a high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil until the syrup reduces to one cup (about 10 minutes). Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the cream and cinnamon. Keep the syrup warm over a low heat until ready to serve. The syrup can be made one day ahead.

Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Reheat before serving.

For the French toast: Using a serrated knife, remove the top from the panettone. Cut the rest of the panettone into thick slices then cut each slice into four equal pieces.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk and sugar until smooth. Melt one tablespoon of butter in a heavy bottom frying pan.

Working in batches, dip slices of panettone into the custard making sure both sides are soaked.

Cook the soaked panettone slices until golden brown and firm to the touch, around four minutes per side. Transfer to the oven to keep warm.

Repeat with the remaining one tablespoon of butter and panettone slices.

Serve with warm syrup drizzled over, a dollop of mascarpone cheese and piled with fresh berries.

Art with a past Happy Place and Line Complexity Two very different styles of art will soon call Tauranga’s The Art Lounge NZ home.

Sarah Albisser

Sarah Albisser and Anya Mowll both have different art styles, and their creations will be on display until January 4.

Sarah’s collection ‘Line Complexity’ features black and white drawings and ink and stitching portraits.

“In my work, I capture expressions, feelings, moods and mental states,” says Sarah.

Swiss-born Sarah says art has been a lifelong passion for her, and she draws influence from her father – an architect and abstract artist.

Once Sarah had graduated from the London Studio Centre, she started contemporary dance at the Merce Cunningham Studio in New York before launching a career as an independent dancer and choreographer.

She switched gears in 2007 and moved to New Zealand and has since developed her own style and technique.

“It’s fascinating how each of us is unique, which is shown in facial expression, body gesture and our overall presence. My work is inspired by strong female characters, who are original and have a powerful presence.”

Sarah’s larger drawings in the exhibition – called ‘The Wireheads’ – have evolved from a long history of sketching.

“They represent the energy of thinking and the subconscious mind in movement and in the moment,” says Sarah.

Anya’s collection ‘My Happy Place’ is

comprised of ceramic figurines with a bronze coating.

Anya is a full-time artist based in Wellington where she works in her new studio.

She focuses her talents mostly around clay, but often likes to experiment with other new media.

She graduated with a Diploma in Ceramic Arts in 2012 before completing a Bachelor in Applied Arts at Whitireia Polytechnic.

Anya enjoys exploring the texture of fired ceramics from very smooth to as sharp as a knife, as well as preserving fingerprints in the finished pieces and experimenting with fluid glazes.

“My inspiration comes from nature, particularly in features like growth, weathering, evolution and organic structures,” says Anya.

“However, my art pieces are mainly inspired by the sea life. When I work on a figurative work, I concentrate on emotions rather than a form.”

Anya is usually working on three or more projects simultaneously and is always looking for new ideas, which makes her art so unique.

Ceramic figures with bronze coating were designed and created especially for The Art Lounge NZ, Fine Art Gallery, who represents Anya in the Bay of Plenty region.

Anya’s unique ceramics are in private collections worldwide, mostly in New Zealand, the United Sates, Australia, Japan and the UK, and she exhibits regularly. Some of her stunning work was also purchased by the Wallace Art Trust.

See the collection for yourself at The Art Lounge Fine Art Gallery in the CBD at 32 Devonport Road.
