Goodies to give away after my garage clean-out
Hi Neighbours
I've just had a big clean out of the loft in my garage and here's a list of items looking for new homes! I don't want anything for them - just happy if someone can use any of them. I've got photos of most of them and happy to email to you if you wish. Or you can come by appointment to my home in Waiau Beach to view them.
Golf bag and clubs. Well used but I think there's a full set. I bought them second-hand. Would be good for a beginner.
Golf trundler. Hardly used.
Yard broom head. Brand new. 40 mm long. 14 mm bristles
Miniature ironing board. Seldom used. Excellent for a small flat or a student.
Upright wall storage rack for the garage - never used. 3 projecting hooks. (sorry, a bit hard to describe!)
A box of cassettes - popular music of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. If you've got some way to capture the music onto modern equipment you might enjoy the trip down memory lane.
Some anchor chain
Tall black decorative stand - could use for tall flowers or umbrellas. Light-weight fabric. In excellent condition.
One round tray for a worm farm. Similar to the ones at www.bunnings.co.nz.... I bought it from WormsRUs when they were behind The General Store at Karaka. Could also be used to grow seedlings. It's 50 cm diameter.
Hoover power head vacuum cleaner. The main machine has been causing grief but a clever handyman might be able to get it going, or you might want the external diverter (quite new), the 4 brand new dust bags or the head or hose.
A selection of used garden pots
Some used Eastlight lever arch ring binders - still have some life in them.
Please call for any information, photos or to make an appointment to view (and have a cuppa and enjoy the view while you're here, if you've got the time!)

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?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
88.5% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
11.5% No. This would be impossible in practice.
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
