    Kairaki Beach, Canterbury

Flood Damage at Kairaki Beach, Kaiapoi

Published ByMark/Posted inPhotography/7 June 2021

May/June 2021 saw a huge amount of rain cause extensive flooding around the Cantebury area. After checking out damage to the Glentui Loop Track, the family and I went out to Kairaki Beach at the mouth of the Waimakariri River.

Usually full of 4WDs and people fishing, the beach is covered in brown branches and other dead vegetation, all washed-up from Canterbury’s floods.

I ended up with three Macpac waterproof pack raincovers thanks to sizing which didn't quite fit my expectations, so I've put them all to the test here.

With the demise of my glass Keep Cup 8oz, the time came to find a new travel mug. Suitable for both medium and large coffees, easy to wash, classy for the office and suitable for hiking, I was pleased to find the Stanley Adventure Shortstack Travel Mug ticked all boxes.
