The fire has been burning since about 11.25am on Sunday after flaring up on a Twizel riverbed and spreading to a large forest on Mt Cook Rd (State Highway 80).
It grew to 2500 hectares and had a 23 kilometre perimeter by Sunday night but on Monday, there was "significant spread" overnight and it was now covering 3100 hectares.
There are 17 helicopters and two fixed-wing aircraft battling the fire, with the first helicopters equipped with monsoon buckets going up at first light.

With capacity on buses reduced due to social distancing requirements, some Christchurch users have reported delays and passengers being left behind because there was not enough room.
A Christchurch commuter said "some bus drivers care about how many are on the bus and some don't".
Do you think it's okay that bus drivers self-enforce social distancing?

How's this for a throwback, Cantabs?
Cantabrians rush to Seaview Rd, New Brighton to get some last minute Christmas shopping in - Christmas Eve, 1955.
Hey neighbours,
Christchurch City Council recently converted 65 of its 196 meters to credit/debit card only to combat damage and theft.
However, it is not easy to identify which machines no longer take cash.
Do you think we should move to a totally cashless system?

Gone are the days of sitting depressed in my flat, unable to function when all I could do was sit and eat, frozen with fear.
I am amazed how some days seem so light and easy. Then that energy disappears and the next moment or 24 hours seem dark and heavy. I’m pleased to report that today was light and easy. Since earlier in the week, I put off writing an email, assessing paperwork, updating documents, finding suitable accommodation for a visiting friend and changing the bed linen! But today, I completed all those tasks with a sense of joy, lightness and ease. I paused throughout each activity and thanked whatever power there is in the universe for that energy and the ease of getting through the tasks effortlessly. The motto, “less effort, maximum benefit” that I heard recently sounded in my heart.
This morning helped me realise the old adage, “this too shall pass!” and the complete practical sense of other slogans I’ve learned in the programme. Another example is, “don’t take yourself too seriously!” I’m appreciating how everything ebbs and flows; one’s energy, the moonlight, the tide on the beach rise and fall, like the sun.
I’m in awe of how it’s possible for a hopeless addict, like me, to not eat addictively - even when some days I feel overwhelmed with chores, people and things, or a feeling of darkness surfaces (and it really is just a feeling). Thankfully, everything passes and, as I mature in sobriety, I really know with all my heart how to keep going.
Morning, Can anyone tell me of a designer for older homes someone who just comes in and can give some advice on how to modernise an older home? Thanks Jenny
Looking for a handy person to come in and reline with gib over a concrete block wall (small bedroom) I need this done in the very near future so if you are available soon please message me, Thanks Jenny.
