Mt Manaia Track
I apologise for posting on the Noticeboard, but there doesn't seem to be a category under Recommendations to recommend a walk.
Yesterday my wife and I walked the Mt Manaia Track. The last time we walked it was 18 months ago, and it looks like DOC has done some more upgrade work since then, because it didn't feel as rugged and strenuous to us as we remembered it.
There is now a beautiful boardwalk around some impressive Kauri trees, see attached photo.
We think that it truly deserves to be one of New Zealand's Great Short Walks. Well done, DOC.

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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

noisy dogs
lats get cracking on this topic.
Ignorant, selfish dog "owners" that allow their dogs to bark all bloody night and to hell with neighbors right to reasonable peace and quiet and reluctance of authorities to do anything
