Wellington and turn right at the bottom > of the offramp. > > Go straight for about 2 km (Mt Wellington Highway) until you hit a > T-intersection. Turn right there. > > When you get to the Panmure Roundabout, turn "soft left" (into 10 > o'clock direction, 2nd road off the roundabout) and mind the traffic > light immediately after the roundabout exit. > > Go straight for another 500 m until you can turn left via a bridge > that crosses the railway line. Turn and follow this road through the > industrial area until you get to another roundabout. > > Hang right there and you should see Tamaki Campus ahead of you on the > right. Take the gate on the right that is next to the big satellite > dishes - this may not be the closest but it is the gate through which > you must exit later. Go straight until you hit a fence, turn right > there and work your way down to the road at the bottom by following > the fence. Continue until you see a bus stop on the left, then go and > find yourself a car park in the large car park to the right. > > Turning back towards the buildings from the car park, you see a > building with a curved facade. We're in building 731 to the left of > this, on the middle floor, in room 203, which is at the far end of the > building from the elevator shaft. Doors should be open either end of > the building. > > => From East Auckland (Howick./Pakuranga): > > Cross via the old Panmure bridge and drive up to the Panmure > roundabout. Turn right there (about a 4 o'clock turn) and follow the > directions above. > > => From the city / North Shore: > > Take the Southern Motorway and exit at Greenlane. Hang left at the > exit and go straight up the hill towards Remuera. At the > T-intersection at the top, turn right. > > Continue along Remuera Rd. (which then turns into St. Johns Rd.) > through Upland Village Remuera, down the ditch, up the hill to > Meadowbank and down again past the Meadowbank shops, straight on past > Purewa Cemetery and eventually St. Johns College to the St. Johns > roundabout - the first one you'll come across. > > Turn right there and continue to the next roundabout. > > Turn left there and head down the hill past the university sports > fields on the right to the next roundabout. > > Turn right here. You could now shortcut through the first gate on the > left (which closes at night) but the safe option if you're unfamiliar > with the campus is to continue another 200 m to the gate with the > satellite dishes and follow the directions above. > > => By public transport: > > Train: Take the Eastern Line to Glen Innes. Assuming you're coming > from the city, continue along the platform in the direction of travel, > then cross the tracks at the crossing at the end of the platform. > After another 100 m you'll get to Merton Rd., and Tamaki Campus is > ahead to your right. Turn right, cross the road where it's convenient, > and find the first campus gate that's open. You'll either end up on > the big cark park (from where you can follow the directions above) or, > worst-case, at the gate with the satellite dishes, from where you can > walk back to building 731 inside. > > Buses: Lines 625, 635, and 655 as well as 007 run past the campus. > Your cue is the bus going down steeply through a residential area > after the St. Johns roundabout. You'll emerge opposite the uni sports > fields - hit the button as soon as the bus turns. As you get off, you > see the campus ahead on your right. Turn right at the roundabout and > find yourself the first gate to get in. > > There are also Howick & Eastern buses that stop close to the gate with > the satellite dishes. > > Kind Regards, > > Jochen Daum > > Chief Automation Officer > Automatem Ltd > > Phone: 09 630 3425 > Mobile: 021 567 853 > Email: [email protected] > Skype: jochendaum > Website: www.automatem.co.nz > http://twitter.com/automatem > http://www.xing.com/go/invite/3425509.181107 > http://php.meetup.com/10 > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
