Hi everyone,
With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.

Artist Showcase: Don MacBeth

Don has long been involved in the arts through music – he’s been in rock bands and participated in musical theatre for most of his life.

Ten years ago, Don started painting. First in acrylics and then in oils. His paintings are now hung in private collections around New Zealand.

Don’s current focus is the art of wood burning (pyrography). It’s an artform that excites him and one he wants to showcase as a true artform, not just a craft. Pyrography is normally created by burning soft woods, but Don’s love of the texture and grains of native woods has led him down a less traditional path. Don’s woodburning is typically done on reclaimed native timber which he cuts and shapes at the Feilding MenzShed before finishing and adding his own artwork at home.

Don is currently busy working on commissions for private and corporate clients. However, a selection of his woodburned charcuterie boards are available to buy now at Feilding Art Centre.
