You ll fall for Whangarei and all it has to offer

Northland s only city, Whangārei, is easy to overlook.
Conveniently located on the route north to the Bay of Islands and other beautiful spots further up the east coast of the peninsula, Whangārei is easy to whizz by but it s so much more than a pass-through destination.
With hilltop and riverside hikes, easy access to beaches, top-notch dining with marina views, and a long-awaited, soon-to-open museum dedicated to Māori art and 20th-century Austro-Kiwi artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, there are good reasons to pause on your trip north. Or to just hang out in Whangārei for a few days.
Browning is a business owner and popular Anderson City Councilman who could give Baugh a serious challenge.
For his part, Browning says he won t put down” Baugh because he doesn’t want to run a negative campaign.
But it’s apparent that Browning thinks Baugh and other supervisors haven t worked well together amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which is why he says District 5 needs new leadership.
Browning launched his campaign last week.
Baugh, a church pastor, was first elected in 2006, replacing Trish Clarke, who chose not to seek re-election after four terms as District 5 supervisor.
“I think it’s time to figure out how to work together and get things accomplished,” Browning said and points to his seven years on the Anderson City Council as an example.

Art in the Garden derived from a group of Whau Valley neighbours keen to support local artists impacted by Covid through showcasing their work in their own backyards.
