The Hawera " Star " states that the* recent stormy weather and attendant high tides have made many changes along the Taranaki coast. The Waihi beach is almost unrecognisable. In some places inroads have been made into the cliff by the sea, the mouth of th n stream lias quite altered, whilst sandy stretches have disappeared, and huge boulders with a lava bottom take their place. "Within the last few years the cliff has been falling away rapidly in this locality, and it is safe to say that acres of good grazing country have been washed out to sea. The outlook is none too pleasant for the owners of land, whoso boundary lines along the coast are being so materially altered, with no possibility of compensation.
