A group of revellers in the Coromandel came up with an ingenious way to avoid the area's liquor ban yesterday, New Year's Eve.
A photo posted on the Tairua ChitChat! Facebook page shows a group of revellers marooned on a sandcastle in the Tairua estuary, built at low tide.
The group sit on a picnic table on the makeshift island swigging drinks.
Some of the group reportedly said the liquor ban didn't apply to them because they were in "international waters", according to Fairfax.
Waikato eastern area commander Inspector John Kelly told Fairfax they were unaware of the makeshift drinking spot.
