Letter to the Editor: hanging boats missed

DEAR News Of The Area

I miss seeing the hanging boats at both main entrances to Urunga.

They were like a big welcome sign that truly represented the town, fun, fishing, boating, relaxing and catching up with old friends.

I am sure a lot of travellers, and especially children, looked forward to seeing a hanging boat at the end of a long trip.
