Happy New Year.....but Red ah?
Happy New Year - and just when we thought we could write events and plans in pen in our diary out comes another curve ball and the twink pen! Shesh.
BUT good thing is we might be over this all soon and back to a normality? Who knows. That's why here at Team Roberts and Harcourts Milford we are full steam ahead with masks on and booster jabbed.
We have incredible properties coming on the market and some in the finishing touches of paint, staging and filming. Online auctions have started again and we have more lined up. So keep reading and make 2022 YOUR year to get that dream home Penny!
Events being cancelled on you left right and centre?
Then grab the map from online and head out for a walk around Auckland to spot the Whales Tales.
Harcourts hopes that the โCovid-wearyโ population of Auckland will get their walking shoes on and embrace the chance to witness art, ecology and cityscapes melding together to protect the Hauraki Gulf over the next few months of Whale Tales 2022.
Today at the official launch of the four-month event, Harcourtsโ Auckland regional manager Scott Cousins said the company was humbled and excited to be involved with the World Wildlife Fund, Wild in Art and Auckland Council to present Whale Tales - picked to attract more than 200,000 people and make more than $14 million for the city in economic return.
Eighty large whale tails designed by well known and upcoming artists are dotted around the city for seekers to find, and 80 smaller tails have been given to schools and childrenโs organisations to decorate and display from March โ 31 of them from Harcourts business owners.
The large tails will be auctioned by Harcourts in early May, with all proceeds going to preserving the Hauraki Gulf and its endemic Brydeโs whale population.
