		Matakana had six in its overall team, four of whom competed in the multisport challenge.

	The KDV Mill
		My family lived in many mill camps during the 1940s and 50s and this was a fairly typical layout, with the exception that most of the timber was being cut from the forest on Matakana Island which was across the harbour.
		Between the Taihunganui's house and the village hall the road turned left and led down to the shoreline with the huge mill complex on the right, and at water's edge was a wharf with various shackle devices for hauling logs and for securing the towing launches...it was also an ideal fishing spot.
		Mervyn Bergersen visited Matakana Island recently and the railway iron anchors are still embedded into the foreshore...
