Dee from Cambridge

Volcanologist Oliver McLeod presents 'The first geological map of Mt Pirongia' a follow on from last year's presentation on 'A geological exploration of Mt Pirongia'.

This event has been rescheduled following postponement from the weather event in Te Awamutu on 25 November.

The book is titled 'Geology of the Pirongia Volcano, Waikato: 1:30,000 Geological Map' which contains a large fold out map and an accompanying, 60 page illustrated text describing the geology of the mountain. The book is published by the Geoscience Society of New Zealand, and will be available in hard copy for sale on the night for $30 cash only.

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.
