Explorer are doing a 25% off deal until the end of May. Went to Waiheke, Man O' War Vineyard for a winetasting & lunch. Then a side trek to the Waiheke Distilling Company for a gin tasting. Was a glorious day for an island excursion. #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #Waiheke #nzwine #somethingBeautiful https://www.exploregroup.co.nz/auckland/man-o-war/

Sky & Sea.
The days may be getting shorter but it's still light really early. Not the most spectacular morning but I really like the way the colours look in the sky & reflected on the water. #TamakiMakaurau #Auckland #sunrise #somethingBeautiful
Train frequencies might be barely 1/hour in #TāmakiMakaurau right now, but I'm still counting it as a win.
Because it's not only a holiday, it's THE holiday when everything is closed.
And we won't have trains in the city for a full month.
Trains are running on a weekend in #TāmakiMakaurau!

Save the date, South Auckland Bike peeps!
On Nov 2, Bike Auckland is facilitating a cool workshop about the awesome idea of a #BikeTrain as a tool to build community!
It is free to attend and it looks like it will be lots of fun!
This community is building a maara kai (food garden), revitalising their stream, and planning for a resilient greener future.
Today the locals are feeding everyone with hangi and reaching out to get everyone involved and on board.
Everything but the meat in the hangi, came out of these very gardens.
Truly inspiring, joyful work happening in Manurewa.
The solutions are here, we just need to take action together.
And, if you haven't yet, you can sign our petition to avoid commercial fishing being allowed in Highly Protected Areas of the Tīkapa Moana Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.
Want to come show your love for a thriving, living Hauraki Gulf?
Join us on Sunday!
It will be a fun day on the beach, with games and family activities, while supporting a protected marine environment for all living creatures, not fishing industries.

I'm calling it. Pōhutukawa season has started. #pohutukawa #flower #TamakiMakaurau #Auckland #somethingBeautiful
Be careful in town this afternoon, especially if you were planning to attend the Palestine vigil outside TVNZ. Tamaki's goons will be there.
A bit of Sunday afternoon poetry, from some material I've been working on for a while.
