Time for a clear-out?
Delve back into that garage or wardrobe! It's time to sell your gently-loved goods at The Neighbourly Winter (online!) Garage Sale
On Saturday 6th July, members will be online checking out the goods on offer so it's a great time to get rid of your winter clutter.
Maybe it's time to realise that you're never going to use that snowboard or ski jacket, and that you really do have one too many heaters. Whatever it is, take a picture and put it on Neighbourly for locals to see.

Mānawatia a Matariki from Auckland Zoo
As a zoo in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Auckland Zoo is committed to enhancing the wellbeing of its communities and te ao Māori.
Bringing nature into your everyday life is proven to improve your physical and mental wellbeing – and the best part is that we can connect with nature everywhere!
That's why for this Matariki, we're encouraging our communities to take time to reflect, renew and reconnect with Papatūānuku.
Watch how the Zoo's kaimahi connect with Papatūānuku
