'Twice as big as my feet': Large jellyfish washes up on Auckland beach
One of Aotearoa’s largest jellyfish species has washed up on an Auckland beach on Monday, leaving locals stunned at its “foot-sized” tentacles.
Takapuna local Ingrid, who did not want her last name used for privacy concerns, was out on a stroll along Takapuna beach when she came across the creature.
She said she instantly noticed its “massive” size, and fearing what it was, hastily got out of the water.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Plastic beach rubbish
Two recent emus on Takapuna beach. One lithium battery picked up from the edge of the deck of the Harbour Bridge during the recent Hikoi. My guess is the other half is sitting at the bottom of the Waitemata Harbour.
