Cactus Bay

Stubby:

For decades Cactus Bay, east of [[Onetangi]] on the northern coast of the island, was popular with locals as a secluded getaway. However, after the 20-year dispute over [[the loop road]] was settled, landowner [[John Spencer]] firmly rejected the idea of public access to the beach and now the only way to get there is by sea.

Waiheke Island Historic Village

2010-05-28T08:35:44Z

Stubby:

[[Image:Tihare_WoolshedMuseum.JPG|left|frame|Woolshed Museum]]Located at 169 Onetangi Rd by the [[Waiheke Golf Club]], the Waiheke Island Historic Village is run by the [[Waiheke Island Historical Society Inc]]. It is open all year from 12:00 - 4:00 pm. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and on Public Holiday Mondays.

'''Entry is by Donation'''

The Museum is marked by signs that incorrectly state "Museum 500 metres". The signs are in fact 500 metres apart and the Museum is halfway between them. The number 1 bus (Onetangi) stops in front of the Museum.

The Museum consists of five main buildings: the Woolshed (which had to be reconstructed after a 1997 fire) and four cottages in the style of Waiheke baches of the 1930s-1950s. The main historical exhibits are in the Woolshed; the cottages contain period rooms, photo exhibits, archives and meeting rooms.
There is also the original detention cell built in the 1940s for the Oneroa Police Station.

The Woolshed houses the main displays, the information desk and a small shop selling crafts, souvenirs and books on local history.

Membership meetings are usually held at 6:30 PM on the first Wednesday of the month. There is generally a speaker and/or a theme topic. Further information can be had at the [http://www.waihekemuseum.org.nz Historical Society's website]

===History===

In the mid 1990s a spectacular fire before dawn destroyed an historic building at the historical village. Community fundraising saw a new building replace it.

Mike Johnson is a celebrated novelist and poet who has lived on Waiheke since 1982. An [http://www.bookcouncil.org.nz/writers/johnsonmike.html article] on the New Zealand Book Council website has this to say of his writing:

In 1986 he published his first novel, ''Lear—The Shakespeare Company Plays Lear at Babylon'', which the following year was a finalist in the New Zealand Book Awards. It was followed by ''Anti Body Positive'' (1987), ''Foreigners: Three Novellas'' (1991),'' Lethal Dose'' (1991) and ''Dumb Show'' (1996).

His poetry collections began in 1983 with ''The Palanquin Ropes'' (1983). ''From a Woman in Mount Eden Prison'' and ''Drawing Lessons'' were both released in 1984), followed by ''Standing Wave'' in 1985 and ''Treasure Hunt'' in 1996.

He has taught at schools and universities, and was the University of Canterbury Literary Fellow in 1987. He teaches (2010) creative writing at both the University of Auckland and AUT University. He lives on the island with his wife [[Leila Lees]]. Their daughter [[Sophia Johnson]] attended [[Waiheke High School]] where she was a standout student.
