Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

More than 1.5 million parking tickets have been issued to Aucklanders in the past three years - and most of them were down to pure laziness, Auckland Transport says.

In 2018, AT dished out 503,891 parking tickets. That was less than in 2017 when 510,374 were issued, but 8,229 more than the amount … View more

One of the world's rarest flowers, with a scent that has been compared to the smell of a rotting corpse, has bloomed at the Auckland Domain Wintergardens.
The amorphophallus titanum, better known as the corpse flower, is native to Sumatra, Indonesia, and blooms at notoriously unpredictable intervals.
During this time, the flower omits a foul-smelling stench which is so bad, people have been known to faint in its presence.
Thousands of people went to view the flower when it last bloomed in 2015.
The Wintergardens had extended their hours for those wanting to smell the corpse flower, who had until 9pm on Saturday and 7.30pm on Sunday. This time could be extended if there was demand.
Are you game enough to have a smell?
