I am looking for free (or cheap) offcuts of roofing iron, zincaloom or other sturdy, yet flexible, material to create garden edging. Would need to be about 150 to 200 mm wide and of any lengths.

There’s also new growth at Birchville, Maoribank Corner and Poets Park, though at lower levels. It’s still safe to use those parts of the river, but keep an eye out and avoid any areas where you see toxic algae.
They’re not currently concerned about toxic algae elsewhere in the region.
You’ll see educational signs along the riverbank, warning you to keep an eye out for toxic algae, and you can learn more about it in this video: www.gw.govt.nz...
If you’ve recently moved to New Zealand you probably have lots of questions about how things work here, and we can help.
Our friendly volunteers are specially trained to provide an independent, confidential and free service.

Girls day out ! Mum, Jordana, and her daughters Akasha and Ariana-Pearl came in to see us and all got their ears pierced :-)
We have a great range of earrings in stock and make it easy ... in most cases we can pierce both ears at the same time.
I have an Able Cook Maverick MK 245 2hp compressor for sale I believe it is 40 litre but not hundred percent on that. It is in good condition and have had since new.
There are no lines with this machine
With all the comments recently regarding the impact on road design in crash reduction I wonder what is the rational behind the placement of the second roundabout in Alexandra Road, Trentham.

It appears to be there solely for the entrance to a new subdivision, such entrance could well be seerved by a "T" intersection with maybe a giveway or stop sign.
To place a rondabout on a curve with limited visibility in a road with an 80K limit simply for access seems an invitastion for disaster.
If I were a betting person I would back the Police having to attend a serious crash at this point within the next twelve months.
Is there another reason for this road hazard?

To all fishing enthusiastics, please be aware of not leaving fishing gear laying around. This afternoon, I ended up with fishing hooks on my foot (ouch!). Below, picture of the offending material.
The main thing about Birchville is the beautiful native bush and the endless fluttering of Tui, Kereru and many other species. I can look out three sides of my house and admire Mother Nature at work. It helps to make my life enjoyable. What more could I ask for?
