Who has noticed there are no firebreaks left around the hills of Naenae?
I know they look like a scar on the landscape - but they do serve a purpose ..luckily enough we have not had any fires lately - *recalling the years of fires dotted over the hills at Guy Fawkes etc ** - but IF we get any fires… View moreWho has noticed there are no firebreaks left around the hills of Naenae?
I know they look like a scar on the landscape - but they do serve a purpose ..luckily enough we have not had any fires lately - *recalling the years of fires dotted over the hills at Guy Fawkes etc ** - but IF we get any fires in the hills over what may be a very hot summer at times...
there is now not a lot that would help slow the beast - nor much easy access for the services to get there..jus sayin....
Cmon WRC lockdown long over and I am sure there are plenty of staff able to get the toys out and go clear our firebreaks again....

In partnership with Wellington Children's Hospital & Wellington Hospitals Foundation, Recycling For Charity is running a mobile phone appeal to raise money for much needed medical equipment for the Children's Hospital.
So get those old/broken/going phones that have been put in the drawer and drop them off or send them in to us at the places listed in the photo.
We do ask that any iCloud / Knox / etc locks have been removed and a factory reset has been done before dropping the phone off. For more info please read the photo with this post.
Please share this with friends and neighbours as the Wellington Children's Hospital deal with children from approx New Plymouth and Hawkes Bay down to Wellington.
Thanks in advance

Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins on Tuesday gave Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield new powers, which means he can now easily require negative tests for arrivals from all countries.
It comes as Covid-19 surges around the world, in sharp contrast to New Zealand, where there is no current community transmission. Both the US and UK are experiencing unprecedented peaks in Covid-19 and nearly 2 million people have now died from the virus globally.

SOLD. I bought these bunks 2 years ago for $1300. They have been wonderful and I'm reluctantly selling because my girls don't want to share a room anymore.

They have been wonderful and I'm reluctantly selling because my girls don't want to share a room anymore. They were perfect for keeping my (then) 2 year old from falling out of bed, and the ladder was easy to navigate for all of us (they are wide so perfect for making the bed!) Disassembled and ready for collection. Listed elsewhere :)

Earlier this month, one of the owners of the store was working behind the counter when a man entered the store and demanded money.
He walked behind the counter to the cash register and took a large sum of money, but the owner very quickly managed to activate the anti-theft smoke canon and the offender fled the shop.
Seeing what happened, the members of the public chased the offender and caught him, holding him until Police arrived soon afterwards.
He was then arrested and taken into custody.
A 40-year-old man has been charged with theft and was due to appear in the Waitakere District Court last week.
The money taken was returned to the dairy owners (pictured on the left), who were very grateful to those who stepped in to help.
A great result and example of people going above and beyond to look out for people in their local community.

The little white kiwi with a feisty personality was more than just a bird to those who met her and the institutions who served as her guardians.
The extremely rare bird made the news across the world as the first white kiwi chick to be hatched in captivity back in 2011, and she died on December 27, 2020 after surgery to remove an infertile egg that had become stuck.
