Another blog...

The Rakino Ratepayers Association has set up their own official blog in an effort to control the dissemination of information, here.

You may notice some similarities to this site :). I hope that this is a step towards them becoming more transparent and informing the public of their works and that they report the unvarnished truth. I see no point in attempting to rival them.

Fishing Competition

The annual fishing competition will be held on Labour weekend. The final weigh in will occur at 3.30 pm on Sunday 26th October. See Lez if you urgently need to weigh in your huge snapper prior to that on Labour weekend.


This is a free competition open to all the people of Rakino in all their shapes and sizes.

The Snapper Shield was originally awarded to the person who caught the largest snapper that year, off the rocks of Rakino.

More information and this year's rules may be posted closer to the time. Thanks to Lez for once again being the man behind the competition.

New ferries...

Details of a new Rakino ferry service are on the Maxx website under the ‘Travel Updates’ tab along the top. Or click here for a direct link. From Friday 1 August the service will operate on Friday and Sunday evenings. Extra services will operate on certain public holidays and details will be advertised nearer the appropriate dates on the Maxx website.


Reuben's Water Taxi is still providing its service.

This was possibly not the desired outcome of the Rakino Ratepayers Association's battle to maintain the ferry service but certainly wasn't a failure. Our thanks go to them for their hard work.
