Like Pollen Island, though, it's as much a shifting shellbank as it is terra firma, but with quite a few plant species associated with it. The Northwestern Motorway has to be widened, so the transport people say, so -- the future for Traherne could be very different.<BR/><BR/>Let me knowTimespannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990716041045862669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466403878576837579.post-42132618822592302872008-11-08T09:24:00.000+13:002008-11-08T09:24:00.000+13:00I picked up this blog from a google alert for Niue...I picked up this blog from a google alert for Niue. Although Having grown up in Avondale and quite intimate with the Rosebank area I had never thought of that lump of Terra Firma we zoom across as an actual Island. Fascinating. I did have the occasion of rowing across to Pollen once and as an artist have done a couple of paintings of the area. Glad I stumbled upon your website. Will study it Markxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846451033202934985noreply@blogger.com
