Trains Now Travel From Auckland To Hamilton

New Zealand is now funding trains to travel from Auckland to Hamilton.

Almost around $92 million has been funded which will be approved for the train services, and will be launched some time next year. Transporter Minister Phil Twyford has announced the funding on Friday the 23rd and that more people will be using the trains to travel through the two cities.

The train will travel from Hamilton to Papakura, where people will have to change to Auckland public transport system.

The ultimate aim is to get the trains to get all the way from Papakura to Britomart's last stop.

R8's Trip To Wero WhiteWater

Last Friday my class R8 traveled to Wero White Water by bus. When we arrived we exited the bus then we were told to walk inside the Wero White Water. Firstly we sat down and then had permission to eat some of our lunch.

After that one of the workers told us that we will be going to watch a film on how the WhiteWater was built. After the film the students went to get changed into their togs. When everyone had gotten changed we went to go and put on wet suits, our wet boots, our life jacket then lastly our helmate for safety.

Once we were done putting our gear on one of the tutors named Ethan was explaining to us how to stay safe and and how to paddle and sit on the boats properly. After that our class took photos. When we were done we had been put into groups with the other WhiteWater workers. They explained how to stay safe when crossing a river and to always face the way the water is going.

Salmon On The Run In Twizel

Over 2000 thousand salmon have escaped into a canal system in Twizel, Canterbury.


And all the fish even swam away from the local salmon farm and then swam into a nearby canal.
There are fishermen in Twizel taking the advantage on catching some of the fish as possible. How ever fishing rules at state are not allowed to take more than only two salmon each day, And 500 milliliters in the length. Fish were due to harvest later this year about three kilograms.
