Auckland Transport are at the #Takapuna markets over the next few weeks getting input on improving walking and cycling infrastructure in the Devonport-Takapuna area. Head down and let them know we need better infrastructure for active modes of transport.

#Tasmanian minister Ferguson, & the chairman of TT-Line resigned due to the controversy in August.

The cost of building the two LNG dual-fuel ships has risen by A$94m from A$850m when the contract was signed in 2021.

The cost of upgrading infrastructure in #Devonport, has more than quadrupled from an original estimate of A$90m.

TT-Line was paying A$47,534 per week to berth the ship in #Scotland.

Getting the ship to Tasmania will cost A$4 million. #auspol #TasPol

Ah a late breakfast at one of the 3 cafes in the #Forways area of #Devonport; ran by locals, who know myself and my beautiful #GuideDog. Rason toast, a croisente and a hot chocolate with two marshmellows. One of which I added to the drink. How lovely it was.

Waiting around at #Tullamarine Airport in #Melbourne for Meet & Assist to come and collect me so I can reach #Tasmania & #Devonport.

I wouldn't have put Devonport top of the list of Australian tourist towns, but then again, what do I know?

For once not a train thing: a short ride on the passenger ferry from #Auckland πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ across the bay to #Devonport is the thing to do, it seems, on a sunny autumn Sunday. Well then!

Part of the HMB Endeavour replica.

From 2007 and, given the ship on the background, in Devonport.
I have no idea why it's at an odd angle. I think the camera took a photo its own.

#TallShips #Devonport #UnintendedPhotos

The bowsprit of a large ship (that's the mast the sticks horizontally out the front).  There are rope and cables running from it at in all directions, and some more coiled and hanging near the base. Two yards are sticking off to the side, with sails furled tightly against them.  In the bottom right corner are some boards of the deck, rather than being sensible at the bottom of the photo.
In the background can be seen part of a large white and red ship (Spirit of Tasmania ferry)  and a large white silo (I think it holds coal or something like that).
The sky is mostly white, with fluffy clouds, but there some patches are blue.

"Home Hill" in Devonport, built 1916. Home to Enid and Joseph Lyons, and their twelve children.

Enid was the first elected to the House of Representatives and, along Dorothy Tangney (Senate), one of the first elected to federal parliament.

Reading about the awful and the Alert starts going off - then I realise it's a Bank Holiday and it's the normal Monday 11:30 test... 😰😰

Devonport (corner of Victoria Road & King Edward Parade) is where you can find my favourite plaque in Auckland. #Devonport #Auckland #NewZealand #plaque #historicPlaque

Historic plaque on the ground in Devonport with red pohutukawa stamens fallen onto it. Text reads: "ON THIS SITE IN 1897 NOTHING HAPPENED".

HMB Endeavour replica, at Devonport in 2007.

On the deck of sailing ship, looking down one side towards the bow, there are a lot of wooden things and ropes including: a large wooden (steering) wheel, black-covered box, capstan, two masts with a small boat between them, rigging running down masts and from masts to railing, a small cannon is sticking out through the side of the ship.

Friday, no staff at #Coles #Devonport.
After a fifteen minute wait, so folks walked out and left their shopping in the trolley.

What's strange about this aerial shot of #Devonport? Clue: it's not the naval ships or subs.
