Where did all the waterbeds go?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

Algae that can potentially cause serious illness in people and animals has been detected in routine testing in Tomahawk Lagoon.

The lagoon, which is situated outside of the Dunedin city limits, has tested positive for cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) which commonly thrives during periods of low rainfall during summer months.

Land, Air, Water Aotearoa (LAWA) says that cyanotoxins effects can vary from nausea to more serious symptoms such as liver damage.

The Otago Regional Council has erected warning signs at the entrance of the lagoon and at the creek that feeds into Tomahawk Beach and these will remain in place until the weekly samples return results below any threat to health.

Both animals and people are advised to stay out of the lagoon.

For more information please head to the Otago Regional Council's website.

Mark Quickfall isn’t shy to admit he has been suffering a little bit of anxiety in recent months.
And who can blame him, with his multimillion-dollar Queenstown tourism company, Totally Tourism, being severely affected by New Zealand’s border closures.

He feared what another community outbreak of Covid-19 would do for businesses around the country.

But if the border was managed correctly and Covid cases stayed out of the community, a travel bubble with Australia would be the ideal scenario, he said.
