great quote
Submitted by Anton Gulley on Wed, 24/03/2010 - 21:13“We were up at Kyme and some joker decided he didn’t want to go outside at night, so he piddled in his boots. Now by the morning they had frozen over and he couldn’t get his feet in them so he went about banging his boots on anything he could to get the ice out. Eventually someone felt sorry for him and offered the dregs of their tee which defrosted them just enough. “

The bridge adjacent to the car park at the bethells end of the Te Henga Walkway was damaged in a recent flood event. The bridge was closed for a Short time however the Department has undertaken minor repair works to ensure it is safe to cross.
