  1. Invercargill NZNV β†’ Gore Aerodrome NZGC

    Departing Invercargill heading west, a wide 180-degree turn brought me back over the city before I picked up New Zealand’s State Highway 1 heading east and north. Just 32 nm later, the Cessna 152 was already back on the ground in Gore.

  2. Ryan's Creek Aerodrome NZRC β†’ Invercargill NZNV

    Crossing from Stewart Island over to NZ’s South Island. The Cessna Corvalis made short work of the 20 nm water crossing, just in time to catch a stunning sunrise before touching down in Invercargill.

  3. Well roll out the red carpet. Because that's what the Southland District Council, Environment Southland and Invercargill City Council have done. They've all approved a 78,000sqm AI data centre to be built at Makarewa, north of Invercargill.

    "Once operational, it would consume 280MW of power, making it New Zealand’s second-largest electricity user after the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter."

    For comparison, Tiwai Point uses 570MW and pays a mere 3.5c per kWh. There's no mention of how cheaply the AI-slop factory will get its electricity, but you can bet it's way less than consumers pay.

    I wish that AI bubble would just get on with it and burst.

  4. We watched Sir Tim Shadbolt's funeral today, live streamed from the Civic Theatre in Invercargill
    I don't (thankfully) go to many funerals, but this was one that will be remembered. A truly honest testimony by his family, friends and colleagues he had over his momentous lifetime.
    Invercargill has lost one of their greatest champions.

    RNZ goes someway in their article, but it had to be witnessed.

  5. Tim Shadbolt has gone to the big concrete mixer in the sky.

    Even though he became a bit of a cooker towards the end, Tim certainly had a colourful life including multiple mayoralties and standing for two very different political parties.

    He was certainly a character.

  7. I thought the mayor we had growing up was as weird as #Invercargill could manage.

    Apparently I missed an even stranger era!

  8. CW: Invercargill mayoralty - a most unsuited candidate

    It's cooker time in Invercargill. While the position of mayor usually attracts a varied bunch of candidates, a certain Gordon McCrone stands out this time as a blatant and unashamed fantasist. McCrone's web site is a damming record of one man's amassed insanity.*

    It seems Police and doctors are all out to get McCrone. "My Criminal Lawyer says it will cost $30,000 and take 2 years to put the Entire Wellington Police Department in Prison." Only thirty grand? I'm sure most people would expect to pay at least twice that amount to depose an entire force.

    He claims an "effective PhD" in sociology and criminology and aborigine life". Not a real PhD then. But it gets weirder.

    McCrone apparently advises President Joe Biden on "internal and external affairs." Uh-huh.

    Then there's this: "At the age of 7, I discovered I was a pedophile..."

    He claims that due to pain he can "barely do 1 minute of masturbating instead of hours non stop..."

    More worryingly, he calls himself "an unregistered, self-appointed child sex psychologist."

    That's enough. This man is actually standing for the mayoralty. God save us all.

  9. Invercargill's cooker Mayor Nobby Clark has had a minor stroke. When this happens to some people you wish them well with a speedy recovery.

    With others, not so much.

  10. Five-term Invercargill city councillor Ian Pottinger is running for mayor of the city. Unfortunately he's just outed himself as a climate denier.

    Lord, rid our local politics of these crusty old white men who yearn to live in the past and don't understand science.
