The ‘Panorama of Raglan 2012 Calendar’ is available right now in the Raglan Bookshop and Whaingaroa Trade Aid in Bow Street, Raglan. Over the last 3 years many have been posted to show friends what a beautiful place we live in. It is again in easier to post A4 format with 28 pages highlighting the variety of scenery and wildlife around Raglan and still costs $15, with profits going to help Friends of Wainui with their work to maintain the bush and tracks on Wainui Reserve.
The 76 photographs in the calendar have been taken by Raglan Ramblers and range from the harbour to Karamu Walkway, Adventure Waikato’s cavern to Karioi summit, from whales to butterflies and from Manu Bay’s tattooed rock to the 150 metre high dunes north of the harbour. The well-known beaches are all included, but so too are the Narrows and many other secluded parts of the harbour. Many have been taken from points which are only accessible with permission, though those taken from public roads and tracks are labelled in bold text.
Raglan Ramblers meet at 9am each Wednesday (except mid summer) in the Wainui Rd car park next to the Fire Station, if you’d like to go with them to see the places portrayed in the calendar. All are welcome to join the 5 to 15km walks. There is no charge, except to share petrol costs, or for boat fares.
If you’d like to help Friends of Wainui restore the bush area of the Reserve, join them from 9am on alternate Mondays. The next work morning starts at 9am on Monday 10th in the bush area just south of the Harbour Care Nursery on Wainui Rd.
