Motu Matakohe, also known as Limestone Island, is a 37ha (100 acre) island just off the suburb of Onerahi in the upper reaches of Whangarei Harbour, Northland, New Zealand. Only five minutes boat ride from Whangarei city (pop. 40,000), community input has steadily increased over the years and transformed the island. Efforts are coordinated by a group of enthusiasts, the Friends of Matakohe – Limestone Island Society (FOMLIS).

Announcement:  MOUSE BUST scheduled for afternoon of Thursday 11th of March, pick up at 5.30pm from the jetty. That will give us about an hour and a half before it starts to get dark. It is timely to do a big hit on the rodents and we would love as much help as possible filling the bait stations across the island. If this is your first time and you want to know more information, please phone the rangers on the island, Ben and Jo on 4360923.
