The closure will be between 11am and 1pm. There will be signposted detours in place for north and south bound traffic. Motorists are urged to follow the directions of traffic managers and keep to the speed limit.
The detour routes are not suitable for heavy vehicles. Drivers are asked to park in the designated area until the highway reopens.

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.
But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.
Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.
Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.

Some of these thunderstorms could be SEVERE this afternoon about eastern parts of Northland near Whangarei producing localised downpours of 25 to 40mm per hour.
Rainfall of this intensity can cause surface and/or flash flooding, slips and hazardous driving conditions.
Further thunderstorms with heavy rain are forecast in Northland this evening and overnight, but these are expected to be more mobile and therefore less likely to become SEVERE.
Note: A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favourable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. People in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and monitor for possible Severe Thunderstorm Warnings.

We love poppies, and this Tibetan blue (Meconopsis betonicifolia) is especially eye-catching. They are available from a number of nurseries, including Blue Mountain in Tapanui.

The Northern news has put an article on the state of cleanliness on public toilets in the Far North. Kaitaia has one in town and one at Awanui, that I know of. This week I used the Kaitaia ones.

Kaitaia has one in town and one at Awanui, that I know of. This week I used the Kaitaia ones. You can hardly blame the Council for the state of these. One water system was smashed off the wall plus seat, rubbish was thrown everywhere as well as dirty nappy’s. A shower they first locked but broken into is now open all the time for public use. Some people are pigs and don’t seem to care. I wish I’d taken a photo.

Emergency Mobile Alerts are not meant to replace other emergency alerts, or the need to take action after natural warnings.
You still need to be prepared for an emergency and you should not wait to get an alert before you act. If you feel your life is in danger, don’t wait for an official warning. Take immediate action.
