[@robingodfrey9639]

We have dodged the very worst of it so far. No, those extremes are global so it has certainly not put us off this beautiful place. Poor Auckland!!

Welcome to NZ, you have joined us at a time of historic rainfall. What is that camera that acts like a drone but is not a drone?

[@robingodfrey9639]

Thanks so much!! It’s a cool new thing for us: Insta 360.

[@junk_rig_sailor1698]
