Do you think more needs to be done to protect penguins?

Georgia Weaver Reporter from Southland Times

A Catlins cafe and bar owner says visitors have contributed to penguin deaths in the area recently.

However, Department of Conservation say it's not visitors, there were largely unknown factors at sea, where penguins might encounter difficulties.

Hi neighbours,

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?

Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.

For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?

What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?

So I guess the potential drought is over for now. With lots more rain forecast for the next week , apart from now on & tomorrow plus Saturday I guess those that like to have a bath ( or shower ) in the rain outside will be happy as a kid in a puddle. Oil continues to climb so I guess those 1.89 per litre days are gone for awhile.

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

Hi neighbours,

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

This cool ride is at Cardrona - the South Island ski resort. Although most Kiwis head there during the winter ski season, in the warmer months it's a summer playground. Click here to read all about it. Have you given this a go?
