This Tasman 370 website brings together information on events and places that will encourage us to think about our country’s place in the world and our shared history.

Use cloth bags, baskets or cardboard boxes when you go shopping. Collingwood, just north of Takaka, has announced its decision to go completely shopping bag free, making it the first town in New Zealand to take such a stance.
