Awesome to see all this especially when Tauranga is right on its doorstep. 160k People right there, tripled in Population since the 90s but Matakanas still the same.

I may be pakeha but I love what you's are doing there, I also dislike how the land has being ill-treated, I am so over the 'health' system & their poison pills, looking to natural medicine and would rather live off the land also.

Used to holiday on Matakana with my Aunty and Uncle. They would come over to the mainland with a barge. Uncle Dave grew the meanest watermelons on the island..Great memories! Then they moved to Motuhoa!!
