We're on the lookout for the most beautiful spots in New Zealand, and would love to hear your favourites.
While it will be impossible to include all of them in one article, we'd appreciate your help in narrowing it down. What do you think are most beautiful places in NZ's regions? Do you have a favourite spot in the Waikato, Taranaki, Canterbury, Southland or elsewhere?
Feel free to comment below, send me a message or email me at lorna.thornber@stuff.co.nz. Please include 'NFP' in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in an article. Thanks in advance for taking the time to share.
With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?

If that doesn't work, read the information on our website (see link under 'Read More') about what to do if:
- your neighbour’s tree is blocking your sun or damaging your property;
- branches of your neighbour’s tree are overhanging onto your property but not causing damage to your property;
- a neighbour’s tree is hanging over the shared driveway;
- fruit from your neighbour's tree is overhanging onto your property.

Tom Logan, a senior lecturer in civil systems engineering at the University of Canterbury, is one of about 1000 people and organisations who have told the city council their views on Plan Change 14 (PC14), which aims to increase housing availability and affordability by cutting red tape.
A final round of submissions closed on Monday, with an independent hearings panel set to begin in October.
The plan change was triggered by new medium density rules set by central government in 2021, which called on large cities like Christchurch to allow up to three homes of three storeys each on most sections across the city.

Details: Condition: used
Description: I bought this about 18 months ago, and used it to digitise old family tapes. I did a few tapes, before the left channel stopped functioning. I think the problem is that the braided earth shielding has come disconnected. The only functions I used were PLAY, RWD, F FWD, and the tape speed setting. They all worked fine until the earth problem occurred. Other than that, I don’t know what functionality it has.
I had another recorder that I used to finish the job (see my listing for Sanyo MR-803 Tape Recorder)
From looking on the internet, it seems that it was made between 1971 to 1975.
Its speeds are: 1 7/8, 3 3/4, 7 1/2
One rubber foot missing.
Dimensions: W 365xH 350x D 230mm
For sale as is.

I have 2 Home Brew Glass Carboys [Demi-johns] 1 gallon
• 1 gallon clear glass demi-john (4.54 litres)
• Use for primary fermentation
• Ensure that fermentation gases are allowed to escape through an airlock
• Do not pour very hot liquids into a cold demi-john or glass will crack
• Avoid temperatures below 4°C or above 40°C
• Suitable for standard 1 gallon rubber or cork bungs
I have use these for wine making in the past. I no longer have the bungs or airlocks but the jars are undamaged. I believe that they are British made.
I used these successfully for wine making in the past but don't do that any more. Sorry, I don't have the airlocks any more.
