Sinister: One Tree Hill

[Halliday, Ian]

Thos of you who remember U2's song "One Tree Hill" will no doubt be
disappointed to hear that the tree, long an icon of Auckland, New
Zealand, will be cut down tomorrow.
The tree has in recent years been attacked twice by protesters wielding
chainsaws and is dying. Authorities in Auckland have the view that it is
no longer safe.
Maungakiekie, (the Maori name for the area), Aotearoa (New Zealand) and
the world will be the less for it.
