Transmission Gully Views - walkMon 21 Oct with Park Ranger
This was postponed on Easter Monday, because of high winds in the viewing area. Some people turned up in what appeared from the carpark to be reasonable weather only to be disappointed. We hope we can attract some of them back! This walk is re-scheduled for Sunday 21 Oct. – meet Hill Rd carpark 9.30am. The route is suitable for families and you should allow 2 ½ - 3 hours return time.
Why not join us if you are around for the weekend & fancy an outing to see progress on this massive undertaking. Friends & Guests Welcome. Watch here for details closer to the time.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
