Hi neighbours,

About 145 pilot whales have died following a mass stranding at Mason Bay on Stewart Island. How sad! To read more, click here.

A DOC spokeswoman said a tramper found the whales on Saturday and notified DOC staff at 10.30pm the same night.

Half the whales were dead and the decision was made to euthanise the remainder of the whales.

Are whale strandings very common at the beach closest to your community? (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/ comments used on Stuff)

Hi neighbours,

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.

But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.

Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.

Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.
