Kauri Glen Reserve treetop bridge and boardwalk now open!

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

NEWSFLASH: The wait is over and the Kauri Glen Reserve treetop bridge and boardwalk is NOW OPEN to the public! Check it out!

And please join us for our official opening/celebration in a couple of weeks!
➡️ When: 12pm Sunday 28 April
➡️ Where: Kauri Glen Road entrance to Kauri Glen Reserve
➡️ Facebook event: www.facebook.com...
Free BBQ! Walk the new track!

This is a new step-free route between Kauri Glen Road and Tui Glen Road, with a refurbished track (including steps) to Raymond Terrace. The new bridge is around 6 storeys high with a very impressive view of the forest tree tops.
The new tracks, bridge and boardwalk have been built to a standard to help prevent the spread of kauri dieback disease, which is especially important in this park.
*** Please always clean your shoes, bikes, prams and wheelchairs at the stations. ***

Note: We made the decision to allow public access earlier than expected to prevent further damage to the forest by those who were throwing the fences into the trees 🙁

Moving clear out !

Samineh from Birkenhead

Hello community. I'm moving house and have a lot of stuff to clear out. The move has cost a lot so unfortunately can't give away free right now. I usually do donations to shops.
But these things are all excellent condition, some not even used, and good quality brands.

Women's Clothes size small or xs .

Girls clothes sizes 5-7

boys clothes infant and 1.

But I need them gone fast so if you want a good deal for nice clothing from good shops like seed , Zara and so on, also there's lots of kids toys and activities.

please drop a comment in this thread if you're interested and I'll dm you and you can come view.

In Birkenhead
Thank you 😊
