As soon as you see the ODT headline, "Cr criticises mural, organiser ‘lost for words’", you know exactly who it'll be.

Yep. Dunedin's saddest snowflake, anti-vax Councillor Lee Vandervis, spouts nonsense again.

The mural was designed by school pupils who won a design competition. Cr. Angry says rainbows & native birds are "woke", "activist-designed" & represent "a crass ideology".

Poor Lee. It must suck to be a complete arsehole.

A colourful mural designed by schoolchildren says "Welcome to Otepoti". This gives one sensitive Councillor much butthurt. The mural features native birds & plants, Baldwin St, the Octagon, a clipper in full sail, a sheep, a cyclist on the harbour’s edge, a rainbow over Larnach Castle and a few cats.

SPOKES Dunedin · Coffee Outside again 0730 21 March 2025 at the Harbour MolarsThe second in the so far irregular series of coffee outside meetings will be this Friday, 21 March any time between 7.30 am and 8.30 am - the earlier time to allow people to get to work after. Meet at the Molars by Portsmouth drive (if fine) or the Octagon bandstand (if it’s too windy or wet for the harbour). Bring your coffee making kit (or a thermos, or a keep-cup if you want to try your luck) for a quick catch-up with other cycling enthusiasts. If you are interested but can’t make i...

I live on a beach and this is quite big.

Minimum floor levels are being raised in low-lying coastal parts of Dunedin, effective today.

When my neighbour built about ten years ago, the minimum was 0.5m. The new minimum floor level is 3.05m - 3.17m above sea level "in certain areas".

Three metres! While I approve the forward thinking, we'll have a lot of houses on poles.

Thanks to @paw for his @dccnews bot.

Tern with catch of the day over elvish landscape

There are several reasons why New Zealand are used for adventure films.

Light and colours are two obvious reasons.
Flora, fauna and landscape are others.

Personally, when watching the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, I am a bit disappointed they do not really shows how awesome New Zealand is.

Better visit Aotearoa in person.

Photo shows a white, black headed sleek sea bird, a tern, with some small fish in its beak. It is flying over a landscape in pastel, soft colours. The sky is slightly clouded with light blue morning colour.

"Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home..."

A sea lion and her pup. Taken with a proper, physical distance.
It is an early morning just after sunrise north of Dunedin, in Otago, South Island, Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Thanks to Adele for lyrics describing the scene.

Photo shows two fur seals, a grown up mother and a small pup. The mother is looking searchingly and warningly towards the photographer. The pup is looking curious in the same general direction. The seals are in shades of brown fur from light to dark, with some black and white details for the mother, and mostly darker brown for the pup. They both have very visible whiskers. They are on a light grey sandy beach, with a small rock the size of the mummy seal in the background.

Traces of a morning walk in the Otago Peninsula, north of Dunedin, New Zealand

Take nothing but pictures,
Leave nothing but footprints,
Kill nothing but time,
Keep nothing but memories,

I accept and am a firm follower of these travellers ethos and credos.

Photo shows a morning at the beach. The sky is blue with scattered clouds. The rising sun washes out the left side of the photo as a visual source of light. The lower half of the photo shows light grey sand patterned by the freshly recessed water tide. Only a set of foot steps to the right side breaks the natural appearance. In the background there are a stony and hillside landscape dramatically in shadows and foggy mist. Sharp stone formations including a small heart shaped keyhole is visible just off the centre opening between the rocks which makes the entrance to the beach.

A newly rebuilt drystone walled section of road; Portobello Rd, Dunedin .At a guess 10 km, but a local may correct me. Well done to the stonemasons who dedicated their craft to lay stone ( instead of modern concrete shoring technique that has little character in comparison)
Sections of this harbour drive were widened as well for a cycle/ walkway. Can do a full circle by crossing the harbour on a small ferry and riding the trail to the city and back.

Drystone wall stretching into distance. Tidal seawater just in view below it. Steep cliff above road ( unseen ) above the wall

The Stuff headline is enticing.

"The ‘magic place’ with houses for under $150,000, but no-one seems interested"

How can that be? They're talking about Waipori Falls, 60km south of Dunedin, population 28. Body corporate fees of $1,200 to ten grand a year will put off many.

But the story fails to mention the water supply which has been maintained by cowboys for years & needs an urgent & expensive replacement.

Divide big dollars by 28 = buyer beware.
