Its not the usual shot of the sandspit but with all the rain its not surprising the river looks like chocolate sauce. We have had around 120ml of rain which is a godsend at this time of year as it was looking very dry.

Recently England was in the news legalising the use of 3 individual sets of genetic material in an embryo. This reminded me of the DNA double helix. Maurice Wilkins, was born in Pongaroa, 30km from Akitio. The research both he and a colleague achieved allowed Watson and Crick to deduce the structure DNA. All three men were awarded the Noble Prize in 1962.
Check out the memorial in Pongaroa.
