Kaipara Flats Community: Situated conveniently close to Warkworth Township (approx. 10 k's west) Kaipara Flats originally flourished alongside the northern trunk railway line as the junction for Warkworth. The odd cargo train still passes through and the annual Steam Train Enthusiasts run is popular with locals particularly the children who catch a ride or wave to the passengers in the passing carriages. Historically the area has been a sheep and cattle farming area but in recent years lifestyle development has resulted in a wider socio-economic status and diversity. Nowadays the close knit community reflects this diversity as it revolves around numerous clubs and the Kaipara Flats Primary School. Established in 1878 it caters for 67 children collected by a school bus network. Strongly interactive it fosters wonderful family relationships within the community. Children love the solar heated swimming pool and the excitement of taking their favourite pets to the annual 'Country Show Day'. Pre-school age children enjoy the activities at the local playgroup -a great venue for mothers to meet the neighbours.
