Free firewood and family fun

Come to collect free firewood and stay for some family games.

Moturoa/Rabbit Island,

Come along and celebrate the end of our month-long Step Out Festival, explore Moturoa / Rabbit Island and take home some free firewood!

Grab a trailer and come down to Moturoa / Rabbit Island on Saturday 28 October between 11.00 am and 2.00 pm to stock up on eucalyptus rounds. You’ll find us on the corner of Barnicoat Road and Bullivant West Road – turn left off Ken Beck Drive. Thanks to the PF Olsen team who will be on deck to help with loading trailers.

The wood hasn’t been split so you’ll need to do that yourself when you get home, and once you’ve split it, the wood will need to be stacked to dry out before being burned. If you split it soon and store it correctly, it should be good to go next winter.

Our Community Partnerships team will also be down at the Old Domain Picnic Area from 11.00 am until 2.00 pm with a family-friendly event to celebrate the end of Step Out.

Bring the whānau and pack a picnic – we’ll supply the outdoor games, and even throw some sausages on the barbecue.

The awesome crew from the Appleby Volunteer Fire Brigade will be there with a fun fire safety activity, and of course their fire truck!

This is the perfect opportunity to get your friends and whānau together to share some kai, play games and explore a beautiful part of our region.
