Memorial to honour Erebus crash victims approved.

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

A national memorial to remember the victims of the Erebus disaster will be built almost 41 years after the disaster.

Members of the Waitematā Local Board have voted to support plans for the controversial memorial at Dove Myer Robinson Park, also known as the Parnell Rose Gardens.

The project has drawn opposition from residents of the central Auckland suburb, who believe the memorial is not suited for the park.

Steel walls rise on either side of the path, with 257 snowflakes carved into one of the walls to represent each life lost in the 1979 plane crash.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
