This is the first Christmas the giant Santa Claus will not be greeting Auckland children making a trip into town.

The beckoning and winking old gent has been a familiar face in the central city since 1960 when he first graced the side of the Farmers department store on Hobson St.

The cost of storing Santa during the year and the upkeep of the ageing structure led to last year being his last appearance.

Many Aucklanders have fond memories of seeing the popular Father Christmas.

Well,how about Harrington Road in Henderson.


This is my second year doing Xmas lights set to music. I have 3238 LED's that are programable. That is equivelant to over 9500 lights and yes I do have a Xmas tree, (1000 LED's).
I will have speakers out, so you can hear the music and like last year intend to broadcast it as well, so that you can sit in your car and watch and hear.


Keep am eye or ear in this thread for more details as to when the shows are happening and the address.

Police plea for safe fishing: west coast beaches

Kumeu police are warning fishermen to exercise caution as the warmer weather lures people to west coast beaches.

The plea follows the death of fisherman Liangpeng Lian who fell into the water while fishing on October 5 near Kauwahaia Island.

The 43-year-old's body was recovered on Muriwai Beach after it was spotted by a member of the public from a nearby walking track.

Kumeu community constable Dmitry Pantileev said Lian's family members were "absolutely devastated" by the tragedy.

Friends who were with Lian when he fell off the rocks were very upset, he said.

"I don't think they all do fishing any longer. "

Pantileev urged rock fishermen to avoid areas with extreme waves and tides, to take someone with them and to wear a lifejacket.

"It's not 100 per cent protection as the waves can crash you against the rocks and you can still be badly injured," he said.

"At least the jacket can prevent drowning and keep the person afloat until help arrives."

Pantileev reminded parents to keep a close watch over their children at such notorious swimming spots as Muriwai Beach and Bethells Beach.

"Once when I was at Muriwai, the water level came from below the knees to the chest area," he said.

" It was a split second for that wave to arrive.

"For people who can not swim and even for experienced swimmers, you can struggle because of the strong current and waves dragging you off shore to sea, " he said.

A student who was infectious with Covid-19 may have lowered the number of people she infected by wearing a mask at work in Auckland's CBD.

The student's decision to mask-up might have mitigated the number of secondary infections, said physicist and disease modeller Professor Shaun Hendy.

A neighbour of the woman returned a weak positive result on Saturday.

While 5400 tests were done in Auckland alone, no new community cases were revealed.
