Mangawhai Walking Weekend April 2,3 2011

There were two historic walks:

 One -  High Tara  a climb through the Taylors farm up to a Pa site and back to the  Wharfes house. This was a rugged walk with 25 participants.
Two - Tara Ramble. This started at the site of Louis Wintle's home and bush reserve and then we went to the Tara Road School.  We visited the Stone House and Dairy owned by Cliff Matchitt and lunched at the school. Lastly we visited the Wharfe house before returning to the village.  There were 28 participants.

 Art Auction 

The Art Auction raised $10,000.  A big thank you to Christine Bygrave and Doreen Pygott for the organisation.
