Big effort to upgrade Rainbow Warrior monument track
More than 100 people from every corner of the planet are at Matauri Bay this weekend upgrading the track up to the monument commemorating the 1985 bombing of the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior. In early January the ship's brand-new successor, Rainbow Warrior III, will visit the Far North bay to pay its respects. The first Rainbow Warrior lies in a watery grave just off Matauri Bay, where it was scuttled 25 years ago next week.
