STAGE 4E1 AND 4E2 NOW SELLING

Greg and I are standing in front of one of the Coromandel’s majestic kauri on the Tapu-

Coroglen Road. Making our way to the square kauri, we were amazed to see several of

these gentle giants standing guard along the road.

Our feature artist, Charlotte Giblin has painted the unique ‘square kauri’ for the cover

of the Road Trip this issue (p25) and we also mention our visit (p30). We hope you are

enjoying our Road Trips (this is the fifth in our series) as much as we enjoy researching

and producing them. What a great way to learn more about our area – there is so much

to see and do right here at home on the Coromandel! Next issue we will journey from

Thames to Paeroa and the surrounding areas including the Hauraki Rail Trail.

We have had so many requests for past magazines, especially the Road Trips and

history sections, that we’ve decided to put together future compilations. First will

be all of the trips into a perfect bound book. Perhaps you have some great photos,

interesting info or special places to share that we did not mention or find. Get involved

– we’d love the help with our research!

We are pleased that so many of you are sharing how much you enjoy

Coromandel

Life

. I was telling a friend about some of the calls and emails we get praising the

magazine. They found the comments so fascinating they suggested we share one in

each in each issue. This one came by post written in a ‘I love nz’ card from Clare in

Coromandel....

Long live Summer, or at least the warm weather!

Dear Tovi,

The “C oromandel Life” is a high class, beautifully presented

magazine. I particularly enjoyed the Spring/Holiday issue

for its historical articles on Kennedy Bay (I was a school

principle there), the maps of the Road Trip and the superb

photographs and artwork. It is a keeper for me.

I have already sent my copy to family in Sydney and would

love to send one to family in Maryland, USA, keep one to

show visitors, and send a copy to my sons in Rotoma.

The history of Kennedy Bay and the C oromandel is

fascinating. You are doing a brilliant job of showcasing

different aspects, that many long-time residents and/or

visitors are completely unaware of.

Thank you very much for your excellent work, keeping the

C oromandel in the public eye and affirming our pride in

being part of this lovely place.

Aroha, from C lare
