Poll: How do you rate Hamilton Gardens?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

After its “best year on record”, the Hamilton Gardens has once again been named in the top 1% of things to do in the world in Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards.

Over 500,000 visitors saw the Gardens over the last 12 months, and mayor Paula Southgate said it’s hardly a surprise that it’s been recognised once more.

Trip Advisor’s “Best of the Best for 2024” is the highest level of award presented by the world's largest travel review platform.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Giant tui takes flight on Te Awa River Ride Art Trail

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Spotting a tui is usually enough to make anyone pause what they are doing to behold its beauty - but this one will definitely stop you in your tracks.

The tracks in this case are on the Te Awa River Ride, the new cycle and walking trail that runs alongside the Waikato River. A section of the route, between central Cambridge and the Grassroots Trust Velodrome, is in the process of becoming a grand outdoor art gallery.
