Junior stevedores at Ports of Auckland.

Ports of Auckland played host to young 'stevedores in training' recently when five children and their families, representing the Cure Kids organisation, visited the seaport. The visitors were able to get up-close and personal with giant straddle carriers and were treated to a rip-roaring tugboat ride.

Last year, Ports of Auckland's Charity Golf Day raised more than NZD50,000 for Cure Kids. Planning for the next Golf Day to benefit Cure Kids, on 12 March 2009, is already under way.
