Our harbour
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

In the 24 hours to midday yesterday, 127mm of rain fell in Kaitoke and 62mm in Waterloo, leading to the striking colours in the harbour. A Greater Wellington regional council spokesman said the muddy waters were a result of heavy rain washing sediment into rivers, then the sea.

Good source of mortar (fine) sand at the Winstone sand plant at the mouth of the Hutt River after each flood.

It's a natural event.  All that muck is front up in the hills at Kaitoke.
