"'Surreal': Wellington man describes finding car on fence after flash flooding"
"A Wellington man says finding his car perched on top of a fence after Monday's flash flooding was surreal.
The water left the blue station wagon balanced on the corner of a roughly 1.2m high corrugated iron fence on Emerson street in Berhampore."
""And I mean, props to whoever built the fence. The fact that it hasn't collapsed is just kind of incredible."

Let's check in on Jono.
'Jono Ridler: Shark encounters, injuries and connection in 1350km swim for the ocean'
"As Ridler has travelled further down the county, he has noticed his environment going from being “quite alive” as it was in the Far North, to seeing “a lot of evidence of life” but not having as many actual encounters."
"Teaming up with Live Ocean, Ridler hoped to bring the commercial fishing practice of bottom trawling into the spotlight and encourage the conversation on what more environmentally friendly alternatives could be explored."
