40 year-old pōhutukawa return to Quay Street in overnight crane-lift

The Team from Auckland Council

While the city was sleeping, Auckland’s urban ngahere/forest welcomed home the first two of seven mature pōhutukawa to Quay Street in a nine-hour crane operation.

While the city was sleeping, Auckland’s urban ngahere/forest welcomed home the first two of seven mature pōhutukawa to Quay Street in a nine-hour crane operation.

After 40 years on Quay Street and an 18-month sojourn away from the downtown construction site, one tree was repositioned street-side in Quay Street and the other now takes pride of place in the city’s new Te Wānanga waterfront space.

Reaching out over the water and reuniting the city centre with the sea, Te Wānanga and the much-awaited Quay Street enhancements will open for Aucklanders in June.

Anzac Day: War letters to home

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Sunday marks the 106-year anniversary of the first landing of New Zealand and Australian soldiers at Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

For many of the 16000 soldiers, April 25, 1915 marked their first day of combat.

Sunday marks the 106-year anniversary of the first landing of New Zealand and Australian soldiers at Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

For many of the 16000 soldiers, April 25, 1915 marked their first day of combat.

And by that night, 2000 had been killed or maimed.

We remember our Auckland veterans and fallen soldiers with their letters to friends and loved ones back home.

Here are letters from Michael Menzies, a Prisoner of War in Japan, to his friend Norm Ryder:

6/5/45

Dear Norm,

Still existing and anticipating a speedy reunion.

Appreciate your kind thoughts and wishes.

I often have the Queen St blues and a perpetual Waitemata thirst and occasionally a nicotine fit.

Received three of your letters and am anxiously
awaiting for more.

Your Affectionate Pal

Snowy

Michael Menzies' letter to his relatives:
2/12/43

Dear Auntie Kate and Ange,

I received your very welcomed letter dated May 25th on Nov 25 th.

Although Jack has received a parcel from St Johns Association London and a very brief letter from Kathleen, this is the first I have received in twenty two long months.

I had given up all hope of getting mail so imagine the thrill it gave me.

There is only one thing I need Auntie and that is news, especially of Pat.

Please don’t keep it from me if anything has happened to him for that would only hurt me all the more.

I can’t help but think the worst has happened to him.

How is everyone in New Zealand?

I have made several radio broadcasts from here, did you hear any of them?

Of course I know you’ll understand when I tell you that our correspondence is limited in more ways than one.

Please don’t send money as you suggested, but a few packs of cigarettes, gum, and a photo would be very welcome.

Apart from a few attacks of asthma Jack is very well and sends his love to all.

I assure you Auntie that you have no need to worry so much over Jack or myself as we are both together which makes it much easier on me and under the circumstances the treatment is fair enough.

There are many things I want to ask you and tell you but unfortunately they will have to wait until peace has been restored once more to this mad world.

Well auntie I sincerely hope this letter finds you in the very best of health and

Along with it I send the seasons greetings and all my love.

Lots and lots of love.

Mick

Dear Dad,

Owen met me when I arrived here.

Perhaps we may get him in my company, then we will be together.

I expect to leave for the front on Sunday.

Love to all,

Your affectionate son,

Hi Neighbours

Kevin and the team here from BIA Kitchens and Bathrooms.

Having seen the team in action recently at Boulgaris Realty, we were so impressed we thought we would we would give them a mention as we love to share a good thing.

With the crazy world of real estate right now, our kitchen and bathroom renovations have meant that we are fully booked on all work for at least 3 months, which in our business is never a bad thing.

When designing a new kitchen we always ask "is this your forever home or an asset that you may want to sell in a few years?"

More recently it seems to be the latter and if this is you, then you will definitely want to talk to the team at Boulgaris Realty. Michael Boulgaris (Principle Officer and Sales Broker) is famous nationally for his many years of success with managing listings of New Zealand's top homes and now his team through his guidance are following in his footsteps. In particular, the rising star in the team, Kristos Tsitsiridakis.

Kristos's background in both the trades & interior enhancements industry and also extensive history in sales & marketing has given him the edge when it comes to maximising on the engagement and trust of his opulent prospective buyers and clients in the Auckland market. His portfolio of enthused clients in both the suburban and rural sectors makes him a pinnacle in performance, when it comes to getting you the very best for your future and your family.

So, if you have even though about your options around buying, selling or both, then you will want to reach out to Kristos for a consultation over a coffee and get the experts in your corner today!
