Huge 'moving to Oz' garage sale Sat 4 May
PICS added! Sales start 7.30am (no earlier!) at 16 Carew St, Nawton, Hamilton. We’re moving to Australia and can’t fit everything in the container, so out it goes at a garage sale... Have added some pics - there will be more stuff again but this shows a chunk of it.
• Furniture items, including desks, chests of drawers, chairs, shelving units, bookcases, mirrors, tables, bedsides and sundry bits and bobs...
• Outdoor furniture/storage, potted plants.
• Large Kathmandu tent.
• Tools, garage contents and paint.
• Cabling and tech bits.
• Lawn mower, chainsaw, chilly bins.
• PLUS: lots of toys (including a whole Nerf arsenal!), CDs, books, some kitchen gear and ornaments, suitcases, knick-knacks and good-quality clothes and shoes.
Come nab yourself some cool stuff. We also have a beautiful rimu roll-top desk for sale, as well as an exceptional trailer (set up for taking bikes but also great as an all-purpose trailer): please PM me if interested and I’ll scoot you the Trade Me links. Any questions please ask - but please note we won't be selling garage sale items prior to the day.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.
