Family of three living in cabin a month after losing everything in Auckland floods

Mildred Armah Reporter from Central Leader

One month on from Auckland’s devastating record-breaking rain, some of those affected are still picking up the pieces.

Catherine Beggs​ and her family were forced to swim to safety in waist-deep water on the night of January 27.

They returned home the following day to find they had lost all their personal belongings in the deluge - including their recently renovated home in Mt Roskill.

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!
