Around The Mountains exhibition

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

A new exhibition coming to Taupō Museum has been assembled to showcase the beauty of our wonderful Tongariro National Park.

The concept for this unique exhibition came about following remarks made to one of the artists, Sue Graham, that she must have painted the mountains from every angle. From this came the unique idea of positioning the artworks in the middle of the room and for visitors to walk around to get the full effect.

Alongside Sue, five additional artists have been invited with works complimenting the theme of the Tongariro National Park, displaying their own series of artworks around the walls of the gallery, including photography, sculpture, drawings and paintings of New Zealand native flora and fauna of the area.

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)
.
