How does it work?
Red Cross Journey is all about walking in someone else’s shoes. Choose a journey to follow, clock 10,000 steps each day between 8 May and 8 June and get people to sponsor you.
Along the way, you’ll receive updates marking your milestones and sharing more about your chosen journey.
By taking part and fundraising, you’ll be helping Red Cross do good things across New Zealand and around the world.
Which journey will you take?
Choose to walk Disaster Welfare and Support Team volunteer Kath’s journey and cover 240km during the month – that’s about 10,000 steps a day – or get a team together and follow the Tamim family's route to a safer life, covering 1,000km.

No traffic will be able to exit Porowinin Ave on to Maunu Rd during the works, however traffic on Maunu Rd will be able to enter Porowini Ave as per normal. Porowinin Ave West will be accessible to light commercial vehicles and cars from the Tarewa Rd end only, they will need to exit again via the entry point e.g. Tarewa/Porowini intersection. Note: the route will not suit large truck and trailer units as there will be insufficient turning room to get them back out.
The work needs to be done before more damage occurs and a spill results, the contractor has made resources available and we wish to take advantage of the favourable weather over the next week. Sorry for the inconvenience and we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

I still want New Zealanders to be-able to camp anywhere as of right.
I could see the many commercial camping grounds business in Whangarei make more profit if they advertise and provide what many of these “freedom campers” want and need.
Is there an opportunity for someone or many of us, to set up sites in their sections for campers like a small B&B.? If you have a section you could make a good return “$$” if you supply what they require. If you want to upscale this, setup your own campground site. If you supply quality at a reasonable price your business should do well.
Do we want a Public/Private adventure on a site/s that we would need to hire staff to supervise the sites?
Do you know each public toilet block costs approx $10 000 each year to keep clean of your rates money.
Some camp grounds charge $50 per person each night for a tent site at summer season and winter can be as cheap as $20.
I like the B&B setup what do you think?
Thanks Tony Gill

Have you ever struggled with a noisy neighbour? How did you manage the situation? Should there be a Sunday morning noise ban? Maybe you'd like New Zealand neighbourhoods to be more like they were 'back in the day' with quiet Sunday mornings - or even a day of rest. What noise do you find the hardest to cope with?
