Crochet Crew's Kiwiana Pavlova Tree at the Meteor
Those crocheters have been at it again over the last 6 weeks and have created a frothy pavlova christmas tree as an entry in the Trees at the Meteor show in Hamilton. About 14 of the Crochet Crew were involved in making either lilies or waffle shaped pieces to create the white base, and black lacy decorations with a multitude of Kiwiana icons like cockroaches, kia ora, fences, wooden clothespegs, black sun umbrelas attached, not to mention the eruption of putiputi (woven flax flowers)as a volcanic topknot! Trees at the Meteor is open from 7pm - 10pm, 14 -19 December, there is an admittance charge.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
