Wellington's Golden Mile... Lower Tory St.?

Ingrid from Brooklyn

Would windy lower Tory St really be a desirable street to be in as a 'no car zone' as proposed? I suggest keeping this access street open for cars as it is one of the only a few routes from this area of the city to the southern suburbs....

Halloween 2020

Marites and Stephen from Kilbirnie

Hello what's Kilbirnie's/Lyall Bay/Rongitai's mood over trick or treating this year?
Still doing it? is there a trail page to add an address?
I know I'm willing to do some kind of candy hand out at a distance if folks are worried about pandemic cooties.

Hey Neighbourly folk, this week something a bit different - a lizard.
Photographer Louise Thomas snapped the image on a recent expedition to photograph some new bird species.

"I've had an amazing 24-hours. Yesterday, my faithful porter and I went out to Matiu/Somes Island. We saw sooty shearwaters, kākāriki, aka red-crowned parakeet, numerous skinks, and on the way back a spotted shag near the Days Bay wharf.
All three birds are new species for me. I'm afraid I have no idea what sort of skink this is, I think common skink, but it has a dark iris? Suggestions from those in the know much appreciated - I'm going cross-eyed trying to work it out on the internet.
Funny story, both Chris and I thought this was a railway spike holding up the wood on the edge of the step, then Chris said "wait, that spike has little hands."
