The bridge to bridge challenge

Beni Neighbourly Lead from Ranui

Hi neighbours,

The Rangituhi-Colonial Knob Warriors group invite you to join in on this walking challenge.

This is designed for those that have never walked the colonial knob walkway or have walked it but haven't been in long long time😅

This can be done at any time, there is no time limit you keep an eye on your own progress.

Here's what you do. It's in the title.
Walk1-walk to the first bridge and back to start (first day)
Walk2-walk to the next bridge then back to start
And so on & so on...until you reach the final bridge on the bush track near the top.
And before you know it you'll be walking to the top!!

Remember like any major walk or marathon, you've gotta build yourself up to it.
I would suggest walking to the same bridge several times before your confident to move onto the next.

Post your progress up with a pic on the Rangituhi Colonial Knob Warriors group page, doesn't have to be a selfie. You can do this. Enjoy!!

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.

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th

Jeanette from Tawa

I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
