Help identifying a tap washer?

Hayden from Johnsonville

Hi everyone,
My Grandmother needs a replacement washer identical to the one pictured. We have been to Bunningsand Mico Plumbing in Kenepuru but no one seemed to sell it or know what is called. I'm just wondering if anyone here knows where I could get one from?
Many thanks, Hayden.

NEWLANDS FOOTBALL RUBY CRICKET SOFTBALL DOGS AND WALKING PARK
Does anyone know what's happening at the park with the mountains of sand courtesy of Hammond Spreading, Wairarapa? Apart from the fact they have completely obliterated the 2 disabled car parks this also poses a serious H&S risk especially to young children and dogs as they are at risk of being buried and suffocating in the sand! The WCC does not appear to know nor are they interested - they've got their rates increases off the able bodied and disabled members of the community so it's not their problem!
