Auckland’s “Boring Day Out” will be held at the project's Mt Eden construction site on December 6.
People will be able to see up close the machine named Dame Whina Cooper after the Māori rights activist.
They will also view where the machine starts its underground journey next year, from Mount Eden to the new Karangahape underground station, then to the Aotea station in central Auckland.
“This will be a rare opportunity to see the star of New Zealand’s biggest-ever transport infrastructure project before it disappears underground,” said Francois Dudouit, Project Director for the Link Alliance.
Details about where people can get tickets on-line will be announced next week.
Ten visiting sessions will be held, with the first entry at 9 am and the last at 6 pm.
Visitor numbers will be restricted to 500 for each session.
Tickets are free and people can book up to five tickets per person.
People with wheelchairs, mobility scooters, prams/pushchairs and walking sticks are welcome.
Entry to the Mt Eden site will be via Ngahura Street near New North Road.
The walk is 600 metres long and the ground is flat but there are some uneven surfaces.

Stuff earlier reported transport officials want a $5 billion rail tunnel under the Auckland harbour a decade before any additional road link, according to new council documents.

First Rung: Debt Free Diva saves deposit for first home in 12 months

She knows what she's talking about, too. Not only did she smash more than $90k of debt in three years, but in the year since she paid it off, she's saved enough, on top of her Kiwisaver, to pay the deposit on a home of her own.
It wasn't easy, and Tracy would be the first person to tell you that! But it is doable. Check out how, and have a listen to our episode of First Rung about Settlement day, on this link below. It includes some tips from Tracy on setting up a budget to manage your finance when you have a mortgage to pay.

How we all dropped the mask-wearing ball, including our leaders
Hi Neighbours, As the latest community case was preparing to take a Covid-19 test, I, and a big group including senior Auckland figures were collectively ignoring advice about mask-wearing on public transport. Read the story below:
Roundabout unveiled on busy Dairy Flat highway

The teenager has no recollection of the June smash that could have claimed her life at the Dairy Flat Highway/ Coatesville Riverhead Highway crossroads.

The teenager has no recollection of the June smash that could have claimed her life at the Dairy Flat Highway/ Coatesville Riverhead Highway crossroads.
Sophia returned to the scene yesterday to see the unveiling of a new $10 million roundabout, held to mark Road Safety Week.
“I have absolutely no recollection of [the crash] or of six weeks after, I just know what the police told me,” Sophia said.
For the Rodney community, the roundabout has been a long time coming.
Serious crashes like Sophia’s sparked community pleas for improvements to road safety along Dairy Flat Highway.
Intersection upgrades, right turn bays, and median safety barriers were also installed.
Sophia said it was uplifting knowing that something positive could come out of such a low point in her life.
"I'm still walking and talking today and I'm glad I could make a difference that will ultimately save lives."
