We're on the lookout for the most beautiful spots in New Zealand, and would love to hear your favourites.
While it will be impossible to include all of them in one article, we'd appreciate your help in narrowing it down. What do you think are most beautiful places in NZ's regions? Do you have a favourite spot in the Waikato, Taranaki, Canterbury, Southland or elsewhere?
Feel free to comment below, send me a message or email me at lorna.thornber@stuff.co.nz. Please include 'NFP' in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in an article. Thanks in advance for taking the time to share.
With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?

How many are blaming the council?
How many are blaming the GVT?
The real answer is Stephen Joyce and Bill English who allowed this:
A new permit system allowing heavy vehicles to operate outside the current mass and dimension limits will deliver real gains for both the economy and the travelling public, says Transport Minister Steven Joyce.
The Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Dimensions and Mass Amendment 2010 allows the development of a permit regime for high productivity vehicles to operate above the current 44 tonne weight limit on specified routes. It will come into force on 1 May.
Under the permit regime, trucks will be able to be permitted up to 53 tonnes within their current dimensions. There will also be provision for loads above 53 tonnes but these will only be granted in very specific instances.
New Zealand's freight task is forecast to increase by 70 to 75 percent over the next 25 years and while rail and coastal shipping will play an increasingly important role in meeting the freight task it is expected that the bulk of this increase will be carried on our roads," says Mr Joyce.
WELL GUESS WHAT, they are the main reason for our roads that were never designed for them, crumbling away.
The foundations of the older roads were never strong enough for the constant pummeling of the heavier trucks and trailers but for the sake of "Higher productivity," it was allowed.
This is one of the cases where decisions have been made for the sake of "Business" needs went horribly wrong, and we are left with an infrastructure that can only get worse as National has never spent money on things like Roads, Health, Law and Order, Housing.......unless there is an election looming.!!!
Oh, They will get those potholes looked at (not fixed) within 24 hours. We can sleep in peace.

Another promising drop in cases to 3764 but a rise in deaths 24 which is still 3 people per day, as the more fragile older generation and winter, work together to make it hard to fight.
Eventually, the deaths will reflect the drop in new cases

Tom Logan, a senior lecturer in civil systems engineering at the University of Canterbury, is one of about 1000 people and organisations who have told the city council their views on Plan Change 14 (PC14), which aims to increase housing availability and affordability by cutting red tape.
A final round of submissions closed on Monday, with an independent hearings panel set to begin in October.
The plan change was triggered by new medium density rules set by central government in 2021, which called on large cities like Christchurch to allow up to three homes of three storeys each on most sections across the city.
Read the full story by reporter Sinead Gill here (subscription required).
Last week was another move in the right direction with 4332 new cases and 20 deaths {there has been a change in how this is reported but might be lower)
Let's hope it does drop to even lower and not settle at this sort of level, as being the norm.

Details: Condition: used
Description: I bought this about 18 months ago, and used it to digitise old family tapes. I did a few tapes, before the left channel stopped functioning. I think the problem is that the braided earth shielding has come disconnected. The only functions I used were PLAY, RWD, F FWD, and the tape speed setting. They all worked fine until the earth problem occurred. Other than that, I don’t know what functionality it has.
I had another recorder that I used to finish the job (see my listing for Sanyo MR-803 Tape Recorder)
From looking on the internet, it seems that it was made between 1971 to 1975.
Its speeds are: 1 7/8, 3 3/4, 7 1/2
One rubber foot missing.
Dimensions: W 365xH 350x D 230mm
For sale as is.
