Recent fires have caused serious damage to these sacred sites — including Te Pane o Mataoho / Māngere Mountain last year. Even one spark can harm the cultural and natural beauty of our maunga.
Let’s protect these special places together.

Anyone know who it belongs to? Seems friendly (except with other cats). It is badly in need of medical attention for its eyes. Been around for a month or so. Has really bad conjunctivitis so I will try to catch him/her this week and take to Carevets-Glen Eden if nothing changes by Friday.
UPDATE: caught this kitty this evening as the eyes are much worse. Keeping the kitty safe, warm and fed. Will contact SPCA in the morning. Will update again once I know what is happening. S/he must belong to someone as s/he is very affectionate. Please message if you know who s/he might belong to.
Update 2 Nov: This young man is now being treated by the vet before being collected by the SPCA.

Missing: a copper ‘cooker’ coil that my husband, Keith, purchased from his employer, Cadbury, when they closed his old place of work, the Pascals sweet factory in Rosebank Road, Avondale in 2009.
Location of theft: View Road, Henderson, West Auckland. Thieves spotted the sculpture at 4:15am and came back and collected it at 5:35am, see photos.
Keith died of Motor Neurone Disease in 2022. And this memento means as much to me as it did to him. The sculpture has been in two of our gardens for the last 15 years and I want it back.
If you have any information please get in touch.
Please share this post if you think you have any friends who may be able to help. Thank you 🙏

If counting sheep just isn’t cutting it, maybe it’s time to let music do the magic. Calming tunes can slow your breathing, melt away stress, and gently guide your mind into dreamland.
Try winding down tonight with some soft classical, ambient, or instrumental tunes — you might just snooze faster than you think! And of course, a cozy bed makes it even better.
Curious how music truly affects your sleep?

Waitematā CIB Detective Sergeant Mark Renfree says Police are aware of three recent incidents where a person or persons have attempted to obtain goods fraudulently.
“In each case, an individual has called a local hardware-type business and placed an order for a large amount of product. This person has attempted to charge the product to the account of a company known to the business.”
Once approved, the scammer has sent an Uber driver to pick up the items.
“So not only are they committing fraud, but they are also putting innocent and unaware Uber drivers into the middle of this offending,” Detective Sergeant Renfree says.
An investigation into these incidents is ongoing, however Police want to warn businesses to be aware of this specific type of scam and to take steps to safeguard against it.
“Our message is simple, do not allow anyone to charge items to an account without verifying them and obtaining identification of the caller,” says Detective Sergeant Renfree. “Anyone purchasing goods should know all the company details they are charging to.”
Businesses should follow these steps:
• Verify all orders placed over the phone, especially if the caller is unknown
• Cross-check contact details with official account records
• Do not dispatch goods until the order is confirmed by a known contact
• Report any suspicious activity to Police
“We are reminding people to be vigilant and cross-check all details,” Detective Sergeant Renfree says. “And most importantly, do not hand over anything until you are satisfied everything is correct.”
Police are encouraging any suspicious behaviour to be reported online at 105.police.govt.nz or by calling 105.
Information can also be reported anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
