- Don’t turn your back to the waves.
- Always take your lifejacket.
- Tell someone when you’ll be back.
- Don’t drive when you are tired.
And remember if you stray too far, the Choppers can help. In the last 12 months, Waikato’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 668 missions keeping Kiwis safe.
Stay safe in Chopper Country.

Keep your eyes peeled for the latest scam to be fooling Kiwis. Scammers are taking advantage of people looking for a home to call their own, creating fake competitions and giveaways to win a tiny home.
A recent scam asked people to sign up on their page which went through a process of multiple surveys so the scammers can collect more information about the Facebook user in the hope of collecting personal details, including bank accounts. To read all about the scam, click here.
A fraud education manager says:
- People are helping the scammers by liking and sharing the post as it spreads the virus
- As soon as you like the Facebook post it gives scammers access to information
- If unsure whether it's a scam or not, look for terms and conditions - often these scams do not have them
- If you think you've been made a victim of an online scam, contact Netsafe and report it immediately. You can access Netsafe's page here.

Is no different to me walking into your room at 3am in the mornings with blow horn and those initial seconds of wtf moments while trying to gather your ass wondering whether to hide or run.
We live in the country and get it and we are certainly not precious neighbours complaining about every issue but just a concerned owner for the well being of animals we chose to have.
On another note a white pig is on the loose, spotted last week and again this weekend along the road side but no chance of catching him trust me I tried.
The will be a working bee on Tuesday from 4pm to weed around the plants we planted in the last planting bee.
This will be for around 2 - 3 hours or could be less if we get plenty of hands to do the job.
