Rescued Avocados - Turlough Hill orchard, Katikati

Gaylene from Northland

The rescue has been a success, says Wellington teens, Reef and Kyra.

The avos - ‘ugly’, ground-kissed or those clever enough to hide from the pickers, are on the road back to Wellington on the back of a Ute.

They will be available from tomorrow, 14 Dec until sold out.

Price is:
$2 each (the best)
$1.50 each (the babes)
$35 for 20 (for lovers or those with room in the fridge - cool fruit to slow ripening)
$55 for 40 (for serious lovers and those wanting to gift onto others)

Bulk buyers (20 or 40) can collect from 20 Farm Road, Northland. PM me to arrange collection day/time.
All others can be brought from the Ute, watch out for them on Karori Road, Glenmore St and Miramar.

Cash only. No Eftpos, sorry.

Price: $2

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.

Combining biking with bus travel

Sue from Brooklyn

Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
