An early heads up for the return of the popular "Warkworth Walks Weekend” on the 13 and 14 November.

Join the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi and some enthusiastic amateur astronomers for a special evening of wildlife watching and star gazing on Tiritiri Matangi. There may be a chance to spot a kiwi, little blue penguin or even a tuatara, as well as having the night sky interpreted by astronomy enthusiasts and their telescopes. This event was booked out in days of being advertised last year, so don't delay in securing a place.
