In a world of constant change it is comforting to have reminders of the way things used to be. This is how i felt about the iconic Waiheke bach hanging on to the hillside at the eastern end of Onetangi Beach. It seemed improbable in so may ways. To see it yesterday morning strewn down the hillside like a carelessly discarded bag of rubbish sent a chill through me like losing an old friend.

There are plenty of pictures on the web of the aftermath, lets just remember it like this.

The Cynic is glad to see that common sense has prevailed and that the speed limit on Onetangi Rd (aka Onetangi Straight) will remain at 80.

It is The Cynic’s opinion is that lowering the speed limit on the Onetangi Straight will have no impact on the number of crashes and injuries. Those that fall off the road will take no more notice of the lower speed limit than they do of  any of the other road rules they blatantly ignore. Watch this space.
