Beautiful large kauri scotch chest for sale
As we are moving to an apartment and can no longer fit many of our furniture pieces, we reluctantly have to sell a beautiful kauri scotch chest in mint condition. Its big; 128cm W x 61 D x 128 High. made by a Ponsonby furniture maker in the 1980's from timber that was from one of Auckland's former post offices. I think we should ask $1000 for it; it was much more expensive when I got it in the late 1990's. You are welcome to come and view. It will be the centerpiece of any room. It's just gorgeous.

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“.
