Scenic Drive Recommendations
Hi all,
I’m looking for some ideas/inspiration please.
I work for a resthome and once a week we (gingerly) pile in the van and go for a drive. We are limited to approx. 1.5 to 2 hours total and depart from Hillcrest area... the residents are mostly dependent on walking aides so they don’t leave the van. Whilst they are just happy to get out it is nice to take them somewhere scenic... I’m thinking places with nice gardens, lake/river views etc. however need to keep in mind they’ll be viewing from their seats! Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.
The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated
