Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

As we celebrate the Taupo District's 10th anniversary with our sister city Suzhou, China, Taupō Museum is privileged to host Suzhou – Faith and Life 618AD to 1279AD, a world-class exhibition starting on August 31.

Featuring treasures from the Tang and Song Dynasties, including priceless Buddhist and Taoist artefacts, this is the exhibition’s first visit to New Zealand, and the first of its kind in the Taupo District.

We can’t wait to see it!

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)
.
