Northland Forest Managers is about to start trucking logs from private woodlots via Riddell Rd and Shepherd Rd, which are no-exit residential streets, then Cobham Rd, Hobson Ave and Kerikeri Rd to State Highway 10. The company expects a maximum of five truck movements a day.
Far North Mayor John Carter said time restrictions brokered by the council would prevent log trucks travelling through Kerikeri before 9am or after 2.30pm to reduce disruption for schoolchildren and parents on school runs. The company would also restrict its vehicles to 30km/h on residential streets, he said.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.
Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.
Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.
