Caving
Interested in what is under you. Exploration, photography, conservation, geology, hydrology, glow worms and other creepy crawlies. The Manawatu Caving Group is a small group of cavers that look at caves locally and far away. Currently we are on our second trip to Wairoa in two weeks as we have found new caves and may map them. No need to go into tight places, but you will see more of a cave if you do. I have sat waiting at times for the string beans to come back and other times pushed through. No judgement, we work as a team to maximise everyone's enjoyment. Should you be interested, then email crmartelletti@inspire.net.nz for more information.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
