Free hot chocolates in Heard Park?! you're welcome LOL.
If you are looking for something easy, fun and FREE to do this holidays with the kids…… or without, try Heard Park in Parnell.
For the winter season an illuminated installation called “Mountain of Light” has been brought to life. This sculpture consists of stunning columns that form a giant pyramid shape and not only do they change colour but they flow through different tone and saturation intensities. This sculpture photographs most beautifully (in my opinion) just before dark.
Poppy and I were lucky enough to stumble across the installation in perfect time for FREE hot chocolate with marshmallows on a chilly Friday night last week!
If you missed out last Friday, a company called The Tin Man will be there for another two Fridays (16th and 23rd July) handing out delicious hot drinks to lucky park goers from 5pm - 7:30pm.
Was anyone else lucky enough to make it last Friday or any other night to take some great images?
Pretty sure we will be back!

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“.
