I posted about this earlier today, but thought a Public Post might reach more people.

They are Mirage (fs208) and the official colour is Mocha.
The fabric is not torn but the arms and backs are very well worn.
These chairs have seen better days, and are no longer in their prime.
We are a smoke free and pet free home.

The recliner still works on one of the chairs.
They are FREE to a good home but must go as a pair.
We can not help with transport but the tops do come off to make moving them easier.

In 2016 a large amount of rocks and soil came off the bank following heavy rain and required the road to be rebuilt over stabilised debris.
“We have discovered significant stress cracks in the road following Wednesday’s heavy rain which is an indication that the material underneath is still moving,” says transport manager Glen O’Connor. The road is popular with trampers accessing the Tararuas.

Clocks will go forward by one hour at 2am on Sunday 27 September. Daylight saving time will continue until Sunday 4 April 2020, when clocks will go back by one hour to NZ Standard Time.
Most New Zealanders should experience a seamless transition, with modern electronic devices adjusting automatically. However, older devices may need to be adjusted manually.
Do not forget it is also a good time to check emergency plans, survival kits and smoke alarms.
