Sunny Day Hiking at Pūkaha this Weekend
It might have been frosty overnight, but the sun is out and it's a sunny blue sky day here! It's forecast to be this way for the entire weekend too!
Great weather to come and walk Te Arapiki o Tawhaki, our 2-hour scenic loop track. Bring a picnic lunch for the summit and once there be rewarded with snowcapped mountain vistas. You might even see wild kākā, kererū and kōkako en route which is why this walk is so highly recommended by our rangers ☀️ 🥾
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
