A light brush with the nettle on your leg or arm, can leave you with a tingling sensation that persists for 24 hours.
Ongaonga has been linked to unexplained deaths of people walking through a dense patch and being overcome. With this mind, I decided to have a go cutting back a particularly annoying patch on our main track to the paddock we call, Waterses.
The Ongaonga bushes were above and below the track so I had to form a strategy so that I would safe. I found a large set of old tree branch loppers (giant secateurs) in the shed and then opted to take a piece of cloth, that used to cover our cool display cabinet in my old café.
This easy DIY project finished in Resene Waterborne Woodsman Pickled Bluewood provides a roosting and resting site for a rare and threatened native bat.

In 1894, English chemist Charles Fredrick Cross patented his artificial silk as "Viscose". He names the material "Viscose" because its production involved the use of a highly sticky viscous solution. The first commercial viscose was produced by the British company Courtaulds Fibres in 1905.
Courtaulds formed an American division to produce their formulation in the United States in 1910. In the USA the name "Rayon" was adopted in 1924. In Europe though, the yarn itself remained known as "Viscose", which has been ruled an acceptable term for Rayon by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Hokitika has been named the most welcoming town in NZ in Booking.com's 10th annual Traveller Review Awards.
Would be keen to hear from those who live there or who have visited whether they think the town really is exceptionally friendly. What makes it a welcoming place, or otherwise? Were there any cafes, restaurants, shops or other places you received a particularly warm welcome?
Lake Tekapo and Oamaru came in second and third place respectively, followed by Cambridge, Picton, Invercargill, Martinborough, Kerikeri and Palmerston North. Would also love to hear from you if you have thoughts on these places. Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts?

I'm very happy to announce that the long-awaited upgrade to tracks in Shepherds Park is beginning soon 🙂

Stage 1 of the Beach Haven Coastal Connection upgrade is scheduled to begin work on Monday 14 February and be completed by Monday 30 May 2022 (weather dependent).
Work hours will be: 7:30am-6pm Mon-Sat, with no work on Sundays or public holidays.
The work is taking place on most of the tracks throughout the bush area on the western side of the park, and this area will be completely fenced off during this time. The area is marked with a purple circle on the attached map (excluding the green track). The area in the red circle will be worked on first so that it can be reopened as soon as possible.
Stage 1 also includes an upgrade of the entrance to Hellyers Creek Reserve in the dip on Beach Haven Road.
Stage 2 of the Beach Haven Coastal Connection will be going before the Kaipatiki Local Board in March for approval. Stage 2 includes the green track on the attached map, an upgrade of the lookout area, and an upgrade of all tracks throughout Hellyers Creek Reserve around the coastline, making those tracks as step-free as possible.
If you would like more information on stage 2, please contact the project manager Leigh Radovan on (021) 275 2418 or Leigh.Radovan@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
