The Team from Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre

Bookings are now open for our Junior Rangers School Holiday Programme, running 10:30am-2:30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from the 11th -27th of January 2022.

Junior Rangers is suitable for all tamariki aged 5 - 14 years.

Each day's activities will be different and limited to just 10 children. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

The programme aims to give tamariki a fun, 'hands-on', outdoor educational experience in our wonderful ngahere amongst all the wildlife that live here. See our iconic tuna (eels) being fed and visit the Kiwi House and behold juvenile kiwi as they hunt for bugs and worms. Exploration and Discovery is encouraged!

Includes lunch to suit the dietary requirements of all hardy Explorers!

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

What flowers are blooming in your garden?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours,

In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.

Have you got them in your garden? In fact, we'd love to see what you've got in bloom now. Post a photo and share the joy!
