Poll: Do you think Taumarunui needs some new rail opportunities?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The spirits of Taumarunui’s rail carriage graveyard have been exorcised after KiwiRail removed the disused and damaged units from rail yards in the King Country town.

The move has reignited calls from the Ruapehu District Council to resurrect Taumarunui’s link to the country’s main trunk line, which have been backed by management at the town’s newly built $90 million pet food factory.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
