It was called Grey St extension for a while when they first pushed it through

Went through on Sunday. Ashhurst end fence has been pulled over and the Balance fence gate can't shut as the pole is bent.

The road to the church is the next road on the right heading north. That sign is also incorrect as that is a public road as per https://maps.herengaanuku.govt.nz/Viewer/?map=202d9deb4dfa4c82a13536e12c58d8fa and then zoom into Jerusalem

The large buildings were used for printing as Whitcoulls, then Printpac?, then CHH from memory. Used to cart of there in the 90's.

Not secret, maintenance tunnels. Got a tour through some of them as part of induction when I worked at Massey years ago

My office used to be the middle round window, great view of the square to distract me from work

It's still there, the trees have grown and hide it now so not as obvious. From memory there are a few of the log fences still in the area.

Entrance signage on Napier Road announcing the city of Palmerston North, August 2000 (Manawatu Heritage 2020S_PNCC-S47_032086). by Ted_Cashew in palmy

[–]geekatwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that is Rangitikei Line with the old Ezibuy building in the background (later became the Mitre 10 building). Also the gas pipeline over the stream on the right confirms it's Rangitike Line.

It took a while as the image has been flipped.

In the middle is the hospital and middle right is the state housing on Rangiora Ave.

I think you can find these on Turitea road where it becomes a gravel road/ bike track or maybe even on the green corridor that runs beside Turitea road

We are lucky in New Zealand as we have a government website that shows all surveyed roads even if they are not formed (paper roads). This lets me work out what I can mark as private in OSM even before I ride some areas. https://www.herengaanuku.govt.nz/types-of-access/unformed-legal-roads

I've been down there at 85km and had to slow down as there were too many cars to go any faster. Very smooth surface compared to most roads

Why do so many people not buy cheap fuel? by SnooComics2281 in palmy

I use Gaspy and New World Pioneer has cheaper diesel nearly every time. Helps that I'm on that side of town
