Checking out the bar...

It might sound like New Year celebrations but in reality, it's one of our new webcams up and running in Wanganui. The camera will help us to observe the effects of storm surge and wave activity in the vicinity of the Whanganui River mouth. The image is updated hourly but this can be adjusted from the office to provide a faster refresh rate.

For those who are not local, Wanganui is the city and district and Whanganui is the river. In the local Maori dialect, Whanganui is said without the traditional 'F' sound for 'wh'.
