Baroona

2009-12-20T08:13:16Z

Tmark: Updated with Baroona's scrapping; name change of Onetangi Road Vineyard.

[[Image:Baroona.JPG|frame|left|The Baroona in her final, seafaring, livery]]

The iconic Baroona ferry plied the Waiheke run from the 1930s until she was laid up with an engine failure in 1965. She did return to the Waiheke service for a time but was later replaced by larger ferries able to handle the increase in passengers to the island. The Baroona went on to serve on the [[Devonport]] run for many years.

The Baroona was built in Australia in 1904. She served variously as a coastal cargo ship, an inter-island trader in Samoa and a deep-water trawler for Sanfords before serving Waiheke as a ferry. Remaining an icon of the gulf, she was moved to dry land on Great South Road in Manurewa, where she was converted to a pirate-themed restaurant. That business failed in 2007, and the Baroona was scrapped in July 2009.

The name lives on in [[Baroona Beer]], brewed at the Waiheke Island Brewery at Wild On Waiheke (formerly called the Onetangi Road Vineyard).

Onetangi Reserve

2008-12-11T22:59:12Z

Tmark: Fixed a link

Onetangi Reserve is more than 50ha of bush valley at the rear of the Onetangi wetlands, owned by [[Royal Forest & Bird Society|Forest and Bird]], protected under the Reserves Act and open to the public. Half a kilometre from [[Onetangi Beach]], and between Scotts Tce and Waiheke Rd, the reserve can also be accessed from Fisher Road and Trig Hill Road. Once known as Eddie Brown's Bush after a former owner, the reserve is considered the best examples of remnant forest left on Waiheke. These days it is popular with walkers. [http://www.forestandbird.org.nz/Enjoy_Nature/Reserves/onetangi/onetangimap.asp Tracks] go both around and across the reserve. Highlights include deep [[nikau palm]] groves and a stand of young, but nevertheless impressive, kauri. [[Kereru]], tui, piwakawaka and riroriro are among birds commonly seen in the reserve.

Description: Lots 41-42 DP 16850 and being part Allotment 38 C/T 1313/37; lots 346-354 DP 16850 and being part Allotment 38 C/T 2091/21; lots 20-21 DP 11657 and being part Allotments 38, 53 and 70 C/T 1589/31.

====History====
The [[Royal Forest & Bird Society]] bought the reserve in 1962. In the 1960s and again in the 1980s locals put much effort into the clearing of gorse and other weeds.

In 1965 the society bought the cottage at 3 Scotts Tce, which it still lets out to members and non-members.

In 1989 Waiheke members formed the Hauraki Gulf Islands branch of the society (fomerly the Hauraki Islands Section), which now manages the reserve and has a ranger appointed for it.

Omiha Memorial Hall

Tmark: Added cultural stuff

[[Image:Tihare_OmihaMemorialHall.JPG|left]]

Opposite the [[Rocky Bay Store]] and at the heart of the [[Omiha]] (Rocky Bay) community, the Omiha Memorial Hall was redeveloped in the early 2000s. The community project revitalised plans from the mid-20th Century for the facade visible in the adjacent picture.

The hall was built in the 1930s by the [[Omiha Welfare and Recreation Society]] after the original structure on the site, which had been a store and dance hall, had been moved to [[Palm Beach]] and renamed Simkin House.

The Omiha Memorial Hall is known informally as the Rocky Bay Hall. It is used for local events such as parties, yoga classes and group meetings, as well as a popular stop for island-wide cultural events put on by such groups as the [[Waiheke Island Choral Society]], the [[Festival Players]], and the [[Rogues and Vagabonds]].

Rocky Bay

2007-09-28T04:33:52Z

Tmark: Added some facts

[[Image:Tihare_Omiha.JPG|left]] Rocky Bay, also known as Omiha, is a relatively isolated community on the southern coast of Waiheke. The centre of the village contains what's left of the [[Rocky Bay Store]], the Rocky Bay Hall run by the Omiha Welfare and Recreation Society, the War Memorial flagpole (and bus terminus), and the Rocky Bay Memorial Sailing Club located in Pohutukawa Road near the remains of the village's wharf.

Rocky Bay was the first place on Waiheke Island to be connected to the national electrical grid, in 1957. The previous year, it became the last community to be connected to the island's road network when O'Brien Road was completed. Prior to that, Rocky Bay was accessible only by boat, on horseback, or on foot.

Waiheke Island Historic Village

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

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.

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