Kiwis will be hitting the road in droves over the next few weeks and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has updated their on-line Holiday Journeys traffic prediction tool to help people plan ahead and minimise delays.
The tool shows predicted traffic flow across popular journeys over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday based on previous year’s travel patterns.
Hi everyone,
With Christmas fast approaching, we'd be keen to hear from those who spend the festive season (or part of it) away each year. Where do you go and why?

With Christmas fast approaching, we'd be keen to hear from those who spend the festive season (or part of it) away each year. Where do you go and why? What makes it such a great place to be at this time of year? What are you most looking forward to about the trip? Any words of advice you may have on things to do or places to eat or drink in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article. Cheers.

A reminder on behalf of our four-legged friends: footpaths and sandy beaches in the summertime, heat up way too much for us humans to roam bare-footed, so please spare a thought for your four-legged friends. FACT: If your feet fry on the beach/concrete so will your dogs paws. Please share … View moreA reminder on behalf of our four-legged friends: footpaths and sandy beaches in the summertime, heat up way too much for us humans to roam bare-footed, so please spare a thought for your four-legged friends. FACT: If your feet fry on the beach/concrete so will your dogs paws. Please share this reminder with whananu, so that hopefully they'll consider the heat of concrete, ashphelt & beaches before exercising their dogs on these surfaces. FACT: Dogs-paws-aren't-made-for-concrete, nor are their limbs and joints. The heat created by the friction of a dog's paws connecting with concrete, when owners jog with their dogs is a double whammy in summer time. Please kindly share, where you think best, to raise awareness on behalf of all the doggies out there.

Once they’re established, it’s almost impossible to remove them and the pests can squeeze the life out of our most precious rivers and lakes. We all need to do our bit to protect waterways by always checking, cleaning, then drying any equipment that comes into contact with the water, between every waterway, every time.

He was one of the great characters and loved to have a chat. He would often be seen at car shows at Trentham Memorial Park and was a regular visitor at the Hutt News.
