Hello everyone,
I've just finished university and am looking for freelance work over the summer mowing lawns, trimming hedges, looking after peoples gardens, that sort of work. I'm not a qualified landscaper but I have a lot of experience.
I have a lot of free time so am quick to get things done and I have competitive rates.
Based in Balmoral but can work anywhere in central Auckland
Cheers - Seamus

After retiring she decided that she would spend some of her spare time volunteering when she saw the Amitabha Hospice advertisement needing volunteers to help people in their community.
Having completed the training course, attending weekly evening classes for 6 weeks, Anne now visits two Amitabha Hospice patients every week, spending a few hours chatting and helping them in many ways. She considers them both friends rather than her patients and says the ‘best aspect of volunteering is the friendship that is established - always people.’
Join our great team of volunteers today!

The group painted the bird's head yellow so they can watch over its welfare.
The swan was earlier reunited with its partner and cygnet after a crossbow bolt was removed from its chest and the animal was treated with antibiotics.

Locals are feeling “absolutely disgusted” at the suggestion that they are behind the incident, which involved a vandal felling eight street pōhutukawa trees with a chainsaw.
Paul and Sue Wilson, who have lived on the road for over 10 years, arrived home on Monday from a trip to Waiheke Island to find a line of felled trees and a curt hand-written note in their letterbox.
Aucklanders are advised to expect potential disruptions as Metservice reports high winds on the Harbour Bridge. Trains on the Eastern and Western lines have also been cancelled. Delays are expected, with felled trees, power disruptions and heavy rain experienced city-wide.

A new guardian will watch over workers preparing to mine the first 50 metres of tunnel at Mt Eden for the City Rail Link.

In the spirit of mining tradition, a statue of St Barbara, the patron saint of miners, was blessed in a dawn ceremony and placed in a shrine near the tunnel entrance.
Ceremonies like this have been repeated worldwide for centuries wherever people go to work underground, said Francois Dudouit, project director for City Rail Link's Link Alliance.
"St Barbara is their guardian and her presence gives assurance that they will be safe below ground."
A statue of St Barbara also watches over workers building the Karangahape underground station.
The saint was an early convert to Christianity who was discovered hiding underground and killed by her pagan father.
Work will start shortly mining the first 50 metres of tunnel at Mt Eden to accommodate the project’s Tunnel Boring Machine.
The machine will excavate the tunnel up to the new Aotea underground station in central Auckland.
Aucklanders will get the chance to see the Tunnel Boring Machine at a public open day being held at Mt Eden early next month.
More details will be announced in mid-November.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has revealed her new Cabinet lineup.
Grant Robertson will take on the role of deputy prime minister in the new Labour-led Government.
