Out of the Ashes Rises
A Locally-Loved Craft
Brewery
When the Grange Bar and Restaurant in Hahei
unfortunately went up in flames last year, everyone
wondered what might replace it.
Neil and Karen Vowles of The Coromandel
Brewing Company have always loved this area,
but had no intention of moving from Matarangi.
“We love Matarangi”, says Karen, “but there
were no opportunities to move the brewery into
a commercial environment. So we widened our
search. A friend suggested we take the 45 km
drive south and at least look at the site, so we did,
somewhat reluctantly”.
However, when they saw the place they loved
it. “We could immediately envisage a relaxed
setting with outside seating and a lovely garden
and this is our intention. We look forward to
making some new friends in Hahei. If you see us
on site, please introduce yourselves. We would
love to meet you!”. The build will hopefully start
this year and the couple anticipate moving the
brewery to Hahei by early Summer. All the best
with your new venture!
Plant kauris,
restore our forests
Conservation group Kauri 2000 is gearing up for
June’s annual kauri planting, site maintenance
and workshops to raise awareness of “kauri
dieback disease”. The Trust has been planting
kauri on peninsula Conservation land since 1999
– over 36,000 kauri seedlings on more than 36
sites. Key to the high survival rate is the care each
site receives.
This year’s June 8 planting, all done by volunteers,
will be at the Matarangi Reserve, Kuaotunu.
Though replanting of kauri is progressing, a major
cloud is the threat posed by the disease, which is
killing kauri in Northland, Great Barrier Island and
Auckland. There is no cure, and the disease kills
kauri of any age or size.
Kauri 2000’s Vivienne McLean warns, “It has not
been discovered on the peninsula, but could easily
be tracked in by hikers. We suggest hikers stay on
established trails, do not climb on kauri roots, and
clean shoes and any gear that touches the ground
with hot soapy water before and after hiking.”
Public workshops about the disease will be
held May 18 &19 in Thames, Coromandel and
Whitianga. Info:

TCDC contractor Alison Smith demonstrates
how the Gullinator works.
The Coromandel
Gullinator
Comes
to the Rescue
Want to keep those pesky gulls from ripping apart
your garbage bags and strewing contents hither
and yon. Well, The Gullinator is here to help. And
no, it is not a weapon. It’s a simple yet clever
plastic net cone with a weighted base. Simply
place it over your plastic garbage bag when you
put it on the street. Too tough to ‘beak’ through
and too heavy to pull away – the perfect foil for
those devious ‘gullminds’.
This brilliant invention was dreamt up by
Whangamata resident Anna Fryer. It was product
tested and modified by Solid Waste Officer Bryce
Louden. May be purchased for $15 from the
TCDC service centres in Thames, Coromandel,
Whangamata and Mercury Bay or in Tairua at the
refuse transfer station.
