Kowhai Photography Competition - still time to enter!
This year’s annual kowhai photo competition is now open and unlike previous years, there’s no need to print out your entries as the competition is now fully digital.
The kowhai trees are in flower, but your photo doesn’t have to be of flowers. It could be kowhai branches, seed pods, insects, unusual bark, or things connected or associated with this great tree.
Start looking for interesting kowhai-context scenes now and keep that camera handy. For inspiration, check out the kowhai trees around the Te Kowhai village and along the Te Otamanui Walkway.
There’s a prize of $50 for the winner of each category. Only one entry per person please.

1. Age 12 and under
2. Age 13 to 17 years
3. Age 18 years and above

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
