HEAD TO WHANGAREI FOR BUSINESS OR FOR LEISURE

#throwback

Hey folks, I have to sell myself to you. In 2022 as a Mayoral and Councillor Candidate, I pioneered a ‘Head to Whangarei’ for Business and Leisure Campaign.'

The connected other districts and regions to Whangarei through business and leisure pursuits.

At the time of publication 4 August 2022 - I had clocked up more than 200 km of voluntary travel time and face to face contact with people from Whangarei to Mangonui, Kaeo, Paihia, Kerikeri, Kaiwaka, Te Hana, Wellsford, Warkworth, Matakana, Omaha, Whangateau, Leigh. ‘Many did not know where Whangarei was. The reason I embarked on this campaign too was to remind people that New Zealand does not stop at Auckland. At least I was there to tell them where Whangarei is - and market its strengths as a ‘head to’ point of interest

Ill try and locate some of the photos that i took on this tour and post them here soon.

I ended my journey at Matakana - asting on a pizza I bought at the Rusty Pelican. It was scrumptious.
