At Waikaraka or Western Springs? Mind you, can't see the 'locals' complaining much at Waikaraka - it's next to a graveyard Hubby has a stockcar he's been working on for the last couple of years We go most nights it's on but go down to Huntly as well and think we might try Kihi Kihi this year.

Great idea for the photos showing the positive side of living in NZ. All too often I follow a thread about emigrating/ living in NZ and its so negative!

This was Christmas Eve last year (I've realised that I've hardly taken any photos this year - maybe that's the mark of not being a newcomer anymore - gotta do something about that!)
