The year started with a bang when the Mahurangi district celebrated the 150th Warkworth A&P Lifestyle Show with a special two-day anniversary event in January.
Over the year, there have been a myriad of issues to keep locals engaged and amused.
Here’s a look back on the past 12 months in pictures.
On behalf of the whole Local Matters team – Hibiscus Matters and Mahurangi Matters – we wish you season’s greetings and a very Happy New Year.
