It freaking sucks how we don't have direct flights to Australia anymore

I remember several times going from Dunedin straight to Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane/GC. It was such a breeze, and cheaper. Now it's just a hassle. Those were the days. Now, having to go thru Christchurch, Wellington or Auckland just suuuuuucks so much. Hate it. Cost which is much higher, and the time it takes. Or not having to drive to Chch. It's actually cheaper for me to drive to Chch airport, park there and drive back as the flights are so much cheaper direct from Chch. Rant over.

What's with the random padlocked doors to nowhere?

I've seen 4 or 5 of these doors around cbd and south d that go into walls or cliffs that are padlocked. They look pretty old and decrepit but I've had a growing curiosity about what might be behind them. I know this is pretty vague but does anyone here happen to know something about them? cheers.

Looking for Roommate for twin share at Carrington College

Hi everyone, I am a year 13 student from Auckland who next year will be living at Carrington College. I would like my deposit to be cheaper and was looking for a roommate to go into a twin share with me.

I requested an alcohol free floor but if you are interested, I can change that if you’d like. I am hoping to study HSFY.

I’m a female and would preferably like a female roommate.

If you are interested (and obvi going to Carrington) or know anyone who is interested in decreasing the cost from 19.9k to 15.4k, please message me 😊

Hospital Rally, today 2pm!!

Good afternoon everyone!

Despite the weather not being the best, the rally at 2pm is still going ahead as planned!! Please wear some warm and comfortable clothes (and maybe even a jacket) and be ready with your voices!!

Here are some chants for today;

Leader: What do we want? Everyone: Our Hospital Leader: When do we want it? Everyone: Now!

Leader: What do we need? Everyone: Our Hospital!

Leader: Luxon, Luxon! Everyone: Are you listening? Leader: Build it once Everyone: Build it right

Leader: Save lives Everyone: Not money

Leader: Is this a request? Everyone: No! Leader: Is this a demand? Everyone: Yes!

Today our only organiser is Charlie, who will be holding a megaphone and dressed as the Grim Reaper (for most of the protest) so if you need assistance or support please find Charlie. If you need immediate first aid assistance and it is an emergency, call 111 and ask for an Ambulance, and then inform Charlie when you can.

The only speaker planned for today is Charlie, but depending on time we may be able to invite people on stage to share their views via the megaphone!! If you are interested in this please let Charlie know and they will aim to organise it!

Charlie will be there from 1:45 if you would like to catch up with him beforehand, and the protest officially starts at 2pm. The protest will end at 3pm.

In the instance of an urgent need to end the protest, the following message will be played over the megaphone;

“Please leave the area immediately. The current protest action has been cancelled. Save Our Hospital does not endorse these actions”

Other than that, I’ll see everyone soon!!

Whitewater around Dunedin?

Hi all! I am moving to Dunedin in February, and I am curious on what the whitewater rafting/kayaking scene looks like in the general Dunedin area/ where do people go? Also, what are (generally) peak flows for these rivers. I am fairly confident Class IV rafter, but I am just getting into WW kayaking. I know the north part of the South Island has some pretty sick rivers, but just wanted to get a feel for what it was like. Thank you!!

Recommendations for relocating to Dunedin

Hey folks, I'm considering relocating to Dunedin and purchasing my first home there. It's affordable for a first time buyer like me compared to auckland. Any recommendations on areas to avoid and areas that's livable? Thanks

Football in Dunedin

Thinking of returning to Dunedin after a year in Australia. During this time my 9 yo became very obsessed with football (soccer, to be unambiguous), plays for a local club, goes to a park to practice almost every night, reads football books watches games etc. basically always keen for anything football-related. I definitely would like to support this passion.

When we lived in Dunedin, he played with other kids in a Green Island club and it was good, however season was short, most of it in winter, and then it was very quiet during summer (most of the other football kids played rugby during this time it seems). Has it always been like that, or there are options to practice and play all year round in more or less structured way? Maybe for older kids?
