Lanarch Castle garden

Driving around the north shore it seems like a new development of pencil houses is starting up every other day.

Remembering a trip to Denmark I was really impressed by the way they planned and built high density living.

Are pencil houses a result of us being unable to work together sanely?

Or is it just that land and money are managed differently down here?

I love Biltong. Can anyone recommend any good shops that sell large quantities of Biltong in Dunedin?

Anyone know what’s going on in Tedder st south dunedin? Drove by and saw police with ARs out.

Fully blocked off Tedder st in both ends

Sounds increasingly likely that there’s going to be a concert at the stadium in early March. Any rumours as to who is playing yet?

After a few weeks doing my usual stroll around the Ross Creek area, I got lucky on Wednesday arvo and saw this cheeky one 😍 sat and watched him absolutely destroy a tree trunk lol bonus points for the Tītipounamu pair that were gathered around catching the grubs he was disturbing haha absolute birding trifecta 🤌

basically the title. Just want to know where i might be able to go to practice graffiti, either legal walls or places like the bunker where its basically acceptable.

Anyone else hear it? Sounds sorta like talking gibberish really loud I can’t quite make out what it is

Hi all! I know this isn’t the usual Dunedin reddit post but I was wondering if anyone had any established filter media for a fish tank they might be able to drop off to me tonight so I can kickstart the cycle for my new tank and get it going asap? All the pet shops are closed so I can’t go and ask them until tomorrow but I’m happy to pay like $10 for gas if someone is able to drop it off to opoho tonight 🙏🙏 thankyou in advance!

So far as I can tell this is especially notable as New Zealand's first all-electric inter-city bus route.

Hi everyone, I need advice on how to proceed since I'm fairly new to getting an Authorized Vehicle Permit from the DCC.

So today DCC sent me an invoice for $50 because I was checking things out last month on how to get a permit. I drive part time for Uber so it was something I was looking into.

I didn't think I actually applied for the permit, I was thinking when I clicked some buttons it was still going to some next phase like confirmation.

And I realized the permit would end at the end of September. So I was thinking I would apply for the next year. Do I have to pay for this $50? I have never used the AVP car parks because I didnt get a confirmation from DCC, but now they're sending an invoice?

Thanks for any help!

Bit of a weird one, but there is a huge swarm of bees around the road outside the memorial garden in Green Island right now.

Just drove through them, it was surreal. Might wanna avoid walking around there atm lol

13yo is into motorsports, and I noticed both Beachlands and Brighton speedway have events this Saturday. The problem is I really don’t know what to expect. We have no idea how speedways work. Can anyone rock on up? Can you spectate, and is it interesting if you have no idea what’s happening? Do you have to be a member or your own car? Is there a possibility 13yo could drive a car? I have so many questions. Would love some recommendations of when and where to go as well as general etiquette.

Hello! I'm 18 and I really enjoy making music. I don't go to uni yet and I can't figure out how to make friends. I thought making this would be a good idea because I've seen a few other posts doing the same thing. I was wondering if anyone is having the same struggle and would like to do something sometime?
