Things I learned on my holidays, 4

Bonfires are back. New Years Eve on the beach at Whangaumu Bay, Tutukaka, and there were four bonfires, fireworks, lots of revels and lashings of alcohol. Great to see, as were the many bonfires on other beaches right across the horizon, all the way down to the Whangarei Heads.

Meddling busybodies were nowhere to be seen, and nor were any fire permits.
