Just want to say a big ‘hooray' for whoever organised the photographic exhibition with the photos on show down The Strand. The best thing I've seen in Tauranga for quite some time.

Attractions like that make Tauranga a destination to come to – and we need more of them. The CBD is losing more shop tenants by the month – so let's see more happening things around town.

Otherwise we are just a town of spaghetti-like roads to nowhere and a bunch of shopping centres within no proximity to one another – making coming to town for day-trip very undesirable.
