Looking for something fun to do in Auckland during the lead-up to Christmas?

You can head down to We Love Aotearoa this weekend at ASB Showgrounds in Epsom.

The free series of events kicks off on Saturday with an added day of virtual reality experiences on Sunday.

Tomorrow you can catch a live set from Stan Walker and pop-up performances from East Cook Islands Community Culture group, Ngā Rangatahi Toa, Guggemusik, drag queens Kita Mean and Anita Wigl'it, and Freshman's Dance Crew.

Aucklanders can take part in a silent disco, photos with Santa, Animal Cycle Roller Rink, interactive art installations and the We Love VR zone.

Drift-racing legends Mad Mike Whiddett and Darren Kelly from The Heart of Racing will chat with fans, sign autographs, take photos, and display their cars.

A group of international travellers stuck in Auckland during the Covid-19 pandemic launched the series.

The group says they were overwhelmed by the blessings and love they received from the people of Aotearoa during their stay.

These events are their way of thanking New Zealanders for their efforts, they say.

Hi everyone,
With Christmas fast approaching, we'd be keen to hear from those who spend the festive season (or part of it) away each year. Where do you go and why?

Tunnel mining changes to 24-hour operation in City Rail Link project

Tunnel mining at City Rail Link’s Mt Eden site is switching to a 24-hour operation from Monday to Friday to maintain momentum on New Zealand's largest transport infrastructure project.

Twenty-four hour work at the tunnel portal site on the corner of Nikau St and Flower St starts on Thursday.

Mining will continue 24 hours Monday-to-Friday but Saturday mining hours are restricted to 7am-7pm.

Work will cease on Sundays and public holidays.

Link Alliance Project Director, Francois Dudouit, said measures are in place to reduce the impact the increased hours may have on the project’s residential and business neighbours.

Mining noise and vibration will be closely monitored by environmental experts, he said.

To mitigate noise, workers will place a curtain at the portal entrance to reduce noise and schedule noisier work to day shifts.

Lights used at night will be angled down directly onto the work site.

Dudouit said the increased hours are temporary and are necessary to complete a 51 metre-long entrance to the tunnel over the next four months.

The Link Alliance is building a cavern and trench which the TBM will use to start its journey underground into central Auckland.

The trench will later become the railway line connecting the City Rail Link with the Western Line at the redeveloped Mt Eden station.

Go to www.cityraillink.co.nz... for more information.

Are you concerned about the temporary increase in work hours at the site?

Are you in favour of the City Rail Link project?

Hi Everyone,
I am attempting to make recycled paper over the summer (before I make it with my students next year) and am looking for a beater (old manual or hand held electric) or perhaps even an old blender to help mix up the pulp. If anyone is having a pre-Christmas clean out and has an old one they are looking to get rid of I would gladly take it off your hands.
Thanks
