Watch: Is this the coolest thing to do in NZ?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

Hi neighbours,

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

This cool ride is at Cardrona - the South Island ski resort. Although most Kiwis head there during the winter ski season, in the warmer months it's a summer playground. Click here to read all about it. Have you given this a go?

Purer water on tap for Christchurch as chlorine doses halved

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Doses of chlorine being used across Christchurch to ensure drinking water is safe will likely be halved next month after city councillors approved the move.

Cutbacks will be made at 60 per cent of the city's pump stations – 40 per cent already have lower doses – reducing the smell and taste of chlorine, particularly for those nearest to wells.

It will also be welcome relief for those with skin conditions such as eczema that are aggravated by the chemical.

Every year for over the last 10 years I have been putting up thousands of lights at Christmas. The last 5 years have seen me move into animating these displays (They react along with a song)
You may have seen parts of this display on Avonhead road or in St Albans over the last few years.

You are all welcome to come see this display in Dunluce Place in Hornby. You can't miss it, between the hours of 8:30PM to 10:30PM Sunday - Thursday and 8:30PM to 11:30PM Friday and Saturday nights. The lights are first switched on, on December 1st

If you drive use your car radio or if you decide to walk/bike, bring a phone that has the ability to tune into a radio station. You will want to tune into 107.2FM when you are outside the light display. (Otherwise it won't make any sense, other than just some flashing lights) I will try to avoid playing music through a stereo outside as to avoid annoying neighbors at late hours.

There is no cost involved so bring as many people as you want. If you need a map you can find us on Lightupchristmas at this link here:
www.lightupchristmas.co.nz...

Most of the lights you see featured in the display are not available in New Zealand stores, and a lot of the decorations are hand-made and/or modified versions to suit my show.
If you have any negative effects when viewing flashing lights, please take this as a warning that these lights will flash and change colour to music and may cause issues for some people.
