Kiwi Kruzer Posted January 13, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Thursday 14 January 2016 The walking tracks on the Mount are currently closed as firefighters dampen down and clean up after a fire on the mountain last night. It broke out at midnight and 3 people had to rescued...sound a bit suspect? It was on the ocean side and even after recent rain managed to burn out about 1 sq km. No cruise ships in today ... Diamond Princess is due tomorrow . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted January 13, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Definitely sounds a bit suss! People playing with fire where they shouldn't be? Shame though, NZ bush doesn't regenerate as quickly as Aussie bush does. It will look unsightly for quite a while I suspect.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted January 25, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Are Princess calls an omen:rolleyes: Diamond Princess is due in Tauranga tomorrow . Last time she called , the Mount was closed by a fire. Now it closed as the walking track around the base is too dangerous with the king tides and enormous swells they are having at the moment. The day before yesterday a lifesaver was swept off the rocks and out to sea . His a body was washed back in the next day. The beach is also closed until further notice.
