THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
A huge thank you to everyone in the community for your support in building the Vital Link walking and cycling track between Langs Beach and Bream Tail Road.
We need your help!
The Wairahi Tracks Charitable Trust (WTCT) has agreed to a significant contribution to the establishment of walking and cycling tracks between Marsden Cove and Mangawhai.
We invite you to attend an Open Day at Te Waorahi on the Saturday of Labour Weekend from 9-11am.

Thanks to everyone involved in the two working bees on the B2B track.
Cyclone Gabrielle saw quite a bit of damage along the river banks between the bridges at Langs Beach Estate and Langs Cove. We lost up to 2 metres of bank and plants. Hard to believe when you look at the trickle that is going along to the sea at present. There was a track (often called the B2B) that went from one bridge to the other.
Many were sad to see the track go and some of the families from Langs Beach Estate and a few ‘trackies’ from Wairahi Tracks met for a workingbee on Sunday 28 April and again last Sunday .
Waorahi - another amazing year
Author: Bruce Copeland.
2023 was an eventful year on Waorahi. The year started with a warm glow, enjoying our upgraded roads as the native bush bloomed and quickly covered the scars from moving earth and metal. A couple of ex-Cyclones didn’t trouble us and we congratulated ourselves that the investment in upgrading water channels, including over 30 culverts had paid off.
Until that is, late February ….
Please look after our dotterels
Our Langs beach dotterels have new chicks . These tiny creatures are extremely vulnerable. They look like a fluff-ball of sand blowing along – so enticing to a dog, so vulnerable to the wheel of a tractor or a very high tide, .
The Coastal Walkway is Open!
Those of you who were holidaying at Waipu Cove or Langs Beach over Labour Weekend may have enjoyed a walk along The Coastal Walkway. What an improvement and a huge shout out to all those volunteers working with The Wairahi Tracks Trust to make it happen.
