Out in the sticks

Miles from anywhere? Nope, that’s the public toilets near the dog park at the bottom of our street, part of the Chelsea Heritage Park.

It looks more rural these days because the City Council has reduced the mowing frequency to save money. Driving through the actual countryside most pastures are cropped closer that that by sheep and cows.

And that new board fence around the kauri trees is to protect them a little bit from Kauri Dieback disease which is spread by dog feet and people’s shoes.
