A Kingsland Christmas
Hi Neighbours!
I'm helping The Fringe District put together a free family event in The Kingsland Rail Plaza on Saturday 26 November 4-7pm.
We are installing a 10 metre Christmas Tree to bring some outdoor festive vibes to our community. We have Santa and his elves on site from 4-7pm taking free family photos, free face painting, cheeky elves, tuk tuk rides. Be entertained by Santas helpers; The Madeleines Trio, and singalong with Suzy Cato!
We also have a $2000 raffle (sourced from local businesses). Tickets $5, drawn at 645pm in the Rail Plaza - must be on site at prize draw to take it all home with you :)
We thought it would be great to have Santa outdoors this year - so come on down to the Rail Plaza!
Hope to see you all there :) Claire

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
