A small tinnie above the beach on Mele bay. When the tides are right and the Manguru are around, the boys from Mele will set their nets and hope for a big catch. Manguru is a small fish which can be eaten or is an excellent bait.

Kiwani Race Day 2007
This year saw a record crowd turn out for a fantastic event, with the usual Fasions On The Field, packed race card, and lots of corporate boxes. The weather was kind with a cool overcast day for most of the afternoon. Well done to all the Kiwanis involved.
Mid afternoon and the Pacific Blue jet makes a spectacular sight "on final" to the nearby airport.
