Electronic Signs For New Zealand Motorways

New Zealand is about to get electronic motorway signs. The New Zealand Transport office has started rolling out the new signs in Auckland. Six full-colour, high-pixel signs have been installed on the Northern, Southern, Northwestern and Southwestern motorways and seven more are planned. Other areas of New Zealand will get the signs in the future, although a timeline is not yet known. Each new sign costs $80,000 and are paid for from the latest budget. The new signs will enable more detailed information to be included such as information on highway conditions and travel information.

Huge Slip At Waihi Gold Mine

Around two million tonnes of rock has slipped at a gold mine in Waihi. No one was working in the martha open pit gold mine at the time and there were no injuries. The slide was not a surprise as officials have been scanning the wall since one year ago. There is still movement being to discover at the mine and further rock fall is expected, however on a much smaller scale.

Metalcraft 2016

>>> Metal-craft 2016 <<<

So today we went to tech to learn new things. This is my first year going to tech and we are doing metal-craft with the year 7 in our class. The other year 7's is with Mr Pineda and they are doing graphics. We are with Mr Grundy. He told us what we have to do and show us some of the crafts he done. He gave us a paper to write information in the paper. He gave us work to do at school and at home for Mr Grundy.
