Pawarenga sports day welcomes New Year

More than 3000 people saw out 2014 with a day of sporting challenges and family get-togethers at Pawarenga, an isolated settlement on the edge of the Whangape Harbour in the Far North. Events included woodchopping, horse races on the beach, a volleyball tournament, tugs of war, the gruelling Iron Man and Woman, and the hotly contested cross country horse race.
