I'm referring to the end facing the harbour deteriorating pretty rapidly, look at all the wood work for instance.

I agree. The Cloud is well past its use by date. Even as a temporary structure it's pretty poor. How sad is it we can't even get the uber prime real estate of Queens Wharf developed to an international standard? That shed, for all its lauded "interior splendor", is still an absolute eyesore.

Just get a motorway connection through the wharf, that way we'll finally get some decent cycling infrastructure and also there will be plenty of money to build a new building.

With more than 1.1 million passenger days spent in New Zealand, the country's ports have survived the biggest cruise season on record - but only just.

"It was our biggest season and we just got through it. We did have some issues where we had three ships in port on a number of occasions and coaches taking people on excursions were stretched, but we managed. Some of the ports certainly found it challenging to accommodate two or three ships," said Cruise New Zealand chairman Craig Harris. On four days this summer, Auckland had three cruise ships in port simultaneously. The cruise industry is the fastest-growing tourism sector and Tourism New Zealand said it had a huge amount of potential for growth. New Zealand's popularity as a cruise destination has skyrocketed - the number of cruise passengers has increased by more than 250 per cent in the past five years.

He is a very nice guy. I asked one of his side-kicks if there was anything more planned for the city and she said that K'Road was next. I did some digging and discovered some exciting news for the area in terms of street art - all will be revealed at Eye on Auckland
