If you feel an earthquake that lasts for more than a minute or makes it hard to stand up, don’t wait for an official tsunami warning. Move immediately to the nearest high ground or as far inland as you can. Walk or bike if you can. Stay there until you get the all clear.
Hi, I'm hoping to find someone to build my very important cats a outside hut. Probably not the most usual request! I live along Wiroa Rd not too far past the Airport. Thanks

We are taking buses to the four corners of Auckland to see first hand how communities are to see first-hand how community-led development is happening across the city. Local hosts will introduce participants to projects, approaches, relationships and success factors that grow resilience, that is driven by and works for local people. And then we will take what we learn into a second day of interactive workshops. Activate is the first of its kind in New Zealand - it's going to be great - click on our link for all the details.

We delivered ten Christmas trees to ten needy family groups, after they were identified by the Whangarei branch of the Salvation Army.
Jenny of the Salvation Army Whangarei says: “Although Christmas is known as a joyful time, it can be a very tough period for many families. It is the generous donations of people and businesses, like Jennian Homes, that help alleviate some of the pain and stress at this time of year. We are very grateful to the Jennian Homes Northland team, as I’m sure are the families who received the lovely Christmas trees.”

A few years ago while living in Wellington I updated the design and sold them successfully in a local craft shop.
Now I have moved to Kerikeri and unpacked my stock and would like to sell these off before I start a new batch.
Qb is made from all new materials, the interior is a 14cm square block of foam with a bell that is impossible for little hands to get to.
The bright fabric is 100% cotton and all features are triple sewn to ensure Qb will safely give years of challenge for your budding genius.
Qb is the quality toy that keeps them entertained for years.
Suitable for children from 18 months to 5 years.
Use a damp microfibre cloth to clean.
Send me a message if you would like to purchase a classic Qb.
SeniorNet Kaikohe is reorganizing and we have several computer desks and office chairs that are no longer required. The desks can be dismantled and will fit in a car.
If you want to inspect please phone 021 026 90381. This week only.
All offers considered but not necessarily accepted.
Your local The Warehouse store is running Wrap It with Goodness. This is where Christmas gifts purchased from The Warehouse can be beautifully wrapped in return for a gold coin donation. All the monies raised will be given back to local community groups.
