Please don’t laugh, but my puppy is devoted to this squeaky toy! I believe I got it from a two dollar shop originally and I have scoured them all but I cannot find it again. Have tried Temu and all the usual places.
I believe it is a warthog and he would be lost without it!!

If your dog does have one in his toybox which he no longer plays with, or you know where I can buy the exact same toy, I’m prepared to pay $20 for it as my dog would be distraught if his warthog loses its squeak or gets punctured!

Please text Cherry on 02102518818 if you can help! Thank you….

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)

The show is a unique collaboration of New Zealand’s top Tap dancers performing alongside artists of Street Dance, Swing Dance and live musicians. This will be the first time a Tap show has been seen at the Fringe Festival.

Tap Fusion is the work of former New Zealand Dance Champion brothers Brandon and Cameron Carter-Chan. They say the show is designed to expose the diversity of New Zealand artists through Tap Dance by inspiring, uplifting, and promoting the idea of creative collaboration, encouraging people to work with artists outside their social circle, and to increase opportunity and strengthen the arts community as a whole.


Tap Fusion is on at The Hannah Theatre, 12 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington on 13th & 14th February.
