It IS possible to get into Coromandel Town. All flooding on roads on the Thames Coast has subsided (and did so some time ago!) There are quite a few slips around the Peninsula though. There’s a major slip at the top of the Whangapoua Hill (mentoined in the article) and another at Simpsons Beach north of Whitianga. Listeners to Coromandel FM have informed us that there is no flooding between Whitianga and Coroglen anymore either. In fact, no roads flooded anywhere! Those slips are the only concern.
