Strong winds on Harbour Bridge
Metservice is predicting strong winds across Auckland this afternoon and are urging caution if you need to use the Harbour Bridge.
What you need to know:
- Gusts are predicted to reach between 75 – 80 km/h between 2pm and 4pm.
- The bridge lane formation will most likely stay in a 4 x 4 formation.
- Motorists are urged to drive to the conditions and look out for the electronic message boards which will indicate lane closures and reduced speeds, and stay within their lane while travelling across the bridge.
- Drivers of high sided vehicles and motorcyclists are advised to avoid the Auckland Harbour Bridge and use the western ring route on State Highways 16 and 18.

25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility

15.4% ... It is complicated

Cycad needs new Home!
We are about to get the outside of our house painted - and have decided this Cycad needs to go. I've started the recommended process for transplanting - trimming a portion of the fronds - but note that the best results require the move to new location to be as fast as possible. Before I start the root bulb work, is anyone local interested? I see they are listed at hundreds of $$ - but happy to discuss. It needs to go.
