Has the weather improved in Auckland and all of NZ yet? I sure hope so.

Auckland City is in chaos. (Well, more chaos than usual). The power blackout is continuing, expected to last until mid-afternoon at th' earliest. I'm hoping my power stays on.

But the City Council say the power to waste water pumps is off, so we're told to flush toilets only if absolutely necessary. The CBD is largely unreachable. the libraries are shut, people are trapped in... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) http://travelandgraphics.yuku.com/topic/381 Sun, 11 Jun 2006 17:01:51 GMT http://travelandgraphics.yuku.com/topic/382/t/Photos-of-where-I-live.html Auckland pics, on Trek Earth.

Raoul Island, which has just erupted, is 1000 km to the north-east of NZ. Well away from the country's mainland and any major centres. I can't find a map online at the moment to show you, but I'm sure Google will help you out. There is no danger to NZ from this volcano -- other than it's part of the Ring of Fire having a bit of a tantrum.

It marks the day Captain James Cook discovered Australia in 1788, although Europeans had been sailing through Australian waters since 1606.
Of course, our indiginous people have been here for 150,000 years and the day can be seen as a "day of invasion", but in recent years we have worked on Reconciliation and a respect for Aboriginal and European culture.

Australia Day is a public holiday and celebrated with, fireworks, festivities,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) http://travelandgraphics.yuku.com/topic/392 Tue, 24 Jan 2006 01:57:07 GMT http://travelandgraphics.yuku.com/topic/394/t/G-day-.html
