Glad you got it sorted Mike, indeed feedback from a local resident is great.
The newest thing in Auckland now are the big party poppers.
These blow out a type of serpentine made from aluminium foil, which goes up about 12 to 15 metres.
Of course these occasionally get blown on purpose or winddrift into the 11 or 33 kV OH lines. BANG!! Feeder trip, reclose, all OK.
One day we will find someone fried near a HV line, when lines came down after a reclose.
You may get these issues down the line one day, teenage kids, cellphones, text messages The information travels fast.
Cheers
Raymond
