Kāpiti Coast district councillor wants to roll back old SH1 ‘confusing’ Māori names

But a councillor wanted to rethink this approach and its proposed Māori names, which were suggested by the district’s three iwi and a … View more

A friend drew my attention to the view outside the window. No time to adjust the settings used to photograph small birds in the forest so I pointed the camera at the scene. The resulting colours were weird partly because of the the camera settings and probably also because of the bus's window glass. So here is Ruapehu in B&W taken from HW3. Please enlarge.
