Painted Boxes: Bush and Boys
This utility box is next to the Lawson Park Rugby League grounds in Willerton Avenue, New Lynn. It appears that the box got too small for all the equipment, so there are appendages, which of course have attracted the taggers (curse them).…
Rock Fishing, O’Neill Bay
O’Neill Bay is just north of Bethells Beach (Te Henga), marked by rugged rock formations (conglomerate). Beyond this outcrop lies the Tasman Sea and maybe a fish or two?…
Manawa Wetlands
Manawa wetlands in New Lynn (Margan Ave) is a system of ponds designed to provide natural filtration for runoff water before it enters the Rewarewa Stream, and thence flows out into the Whau River and Waitemata Harbour.

Note: This weekend (April 4 – 6) is Titirangi Festioval of Music. Be there!…
Optimists in the Mist
Yesterday we had a misty morning (same again today). The Optimist enthusiasts were out on the water at French Bay, practicing their capsize manoeuvres. (The big star on the sail is the sponsor’s mark: Southern Cross Travel Insurance.)…
