Manager from Caccia Birch House

Local History Week comes to an end this Sunday with an opportunity to explore Caccia Birch House. Palmerston North's very own category one Historic Homestead.

Great care has been taken in the restoration and development of Caccia Birch House and we encourage you to come along and enjoy this wonderful property and learn about the families who once resided at the house and the many uses made after it was gifted. The stunning rimu panelling and wonderful lagoon view have to be seen!
Chill out on our big lawn with a picnic amid the spring flowers and huge protected trees!
Photos included: During the Govenor General and his family were in residence 1908 - 1910, Hokowhitu Polo game (Strang Family early 1900's) and one from the 1950's during its convalescent home period.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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 think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
