Scenic Drive Recommendations

Sarah & Toby from Maeroa

Hi all,
I’m looking for some ideas/inspiration please.
I work for a resthome and once a week we (gingerly) pile in the van and go for a drive. We are limited to approx. 1.5 to 2 hours total and depart from Hillcrest area... the residents are mostly dependent on walking aides so they don’t leave the van. Whilst they are just happy to get out it is nice to take them somewhere scenic... I’m thinking places with nice gardens, lake/river views etc. however need to keep in mind they’ll be viewing from their seats! Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
