"A magical afternoon spent at Silverstream today! A good variety of birds to be seen too! As we got out of the car in the driving range, a kotāre was sitting on the power line to welcome us!
It was funny that Clive and I were just talking about me having seen a magpie taking a bath in the water when I last visited, then a few minutes later after watching 3 kereru and 2 magpies who had been fighting each other earlier on, all sitting in the same tree together, suddenly one of the magpie decided to hop into the water and take a bath much to our delight! There was also a chaffinch taking a bath further up the stream."

Jenny will be joined by Wellington musicians Michael Muggeridge and Aaron Stewart – and special guest, Jenny’s younger sister, Nicola Mitchell.
Originally from Gore, Jenny’s music defies easy categorisation but if you admire music by genre-defying artists from Emmylou Harris to Kasey Chambers, you’ll love Jenny. Described by Rolling Stone as, “her best work yet,” her new album, Tug of War, was a 2022 Aotearoa Music Award Nominee and is home to the 2022 APRA Best Country Song; Trouble Finds a Girl.
The Bush & the Birds Tour is an extension of track 11 from her most recent album; a song that pays tribute to the sister’s late Grandad Bruce and a celebration of the love of the land, and the creatures that live in it, that he handed down to the Mitchell whānau. In the spirit of his legacy, Jenny will be donating 10% of show profits directly to Forest & Bird; NZ’s largest independent conservation organisation.

Crank up those cylinders and get your engines firing, on Sunday 26 June the Tui Brewery car park will come alive with the power and noise of the mighty V8. The Mangatainoka Motors V8 Sunday is the loudest and proudest of all the Tui Brewery motor events for the year.
The V8 day is the only day where there are no specifications about the vehicles, it’s all about the engines, so this means Tui expect a huge variety of cars or trucks. This is one of the biggest events on the Toki motors calendar and will be a great day for everyone with live music, great food and of course some refreshing beverages. This is a family friendly event, entry for spectators is free - check out the action. You can register your vehicle for just $10 .

June is upon us, so it's well and truly time to hunker down for the colder temperatures. For some across Aotearoa, this just means a second duvet on the bed. And for others, it's defrosting your car windscreen daily and bringing out the heaters.
