"MELBOURNE AS YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN IT!"
Melbourne the city of Arts, food and shopping BUT one hour out of the CBD is a whole new world with Philip Island , Mornington peninsula offering a great holiday opportunity for families to honeymooners. Visit the Penguins, eat at the many diverse restaurants, winery and brewery tours for the kids chocolate factory , tree scape zip line, great mazes , kayak, helicopter, take a spin on a go kart when visiting the famous Philip Island circuit. For those of you more adventurous tree zip line test your wits. So much to see and do makes an ideal family holiday and only 3or so hours flight from Auckland.
Looking for something different but don't have to fly half way around the world then this is for you. Contact me as I have hardly scratched the surface.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
