## Questions, answered briefly

**Which suburbs does Balguerie Stream pass through?**

Akaroa.

**Is the line on the map the whole waterway?**

It’s the centreline, the middle of the water as mapped on OpenStreetMap, not its banks. A line says where it runs, not how wide it is or whether it carries water today.
