One sunny morning this week I went for a walk to A H Reed park, a half hour walk from home. At the entrance is a recently installed footwear cleaner to help prevent the spread of kauri dieback.
One of the pongas beside the track famously looks like a bear.
Lots of lovely healthy kauri...
...and new steps that lead to a viewing platform - with the view of this waterfall, Reed Falls.
The bush looked very pretty, even though it is winter.
This morning (Saturday) was a beautiful cold but sunny winter's day. I went to check out the market etc at the Matariki Festival at the Town Basin.
