If anyone is interested you can view anywhere if your looking south ,estuary and stead st wharf would be my recommendation at this stage , providing the weather is good hopefully there will be no cloud on the horizon.
I can't guarantee you'll see it with the naked eye but it is worth a chance to venture out I wish you all the best and I'll update again in the next 24-48 hours .

Curious to know who has seen an Aurora and if you'd be interested in getting updates when it is close to happening .

Sweden, for example, offers free nutritious school lunches to children in all primary schools. Is this something NZ should be doing too? Or should funding be focused elsewhere? Would funded lunches help your family? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below.

I rushed to my car and took off down the beach knowing in my mind I couldn't watch another person burn alive if the car went up in flames lucky the silly young boy was okay and just in shock .....
A warning to the young teens yes in life you think your bullet proof but there is places to do this kind of nonsense and the beach ain't one of them period .......

I see oil has jumped another US$ 3.00 a barrel overnight too almost 83 so with the tax that is going on on Monday and this increase I expect the petrol companies too add their price increase as well.
{ Just checked and the tax increase is 3.5 cents on Sunday , not Monday }

As a matter of interest the price of oil was US$ 55 when the election was held last year and has now reached a shade under US$ 83 a barrel. A slight decrease in the Kiwi has added too that and I believe a new tax country wide is coming into effect Monday. With Trump putting sanctions on Venezuela and their oil plus the new sanctions on Iran preventing their exporting of oil coupled with boith OPEC and Russia refusing too accept Trumps demands they increase production too make up the shortfall has and is pushing the price of oil . There were predictions of oil hitting 100 a barrel by Christmas months ago which I seriously doubted but now they are starting too look more likely or heading that way. Remember way back in 2009 was it when oil hit US$ 145/150 petrol hit $2.25 in NZ . But as some people say ?? at least petrol is cheaper than milk or water ..
