Poll: Do you know anyone affected by the Glen Afton mine disaster?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Most people passing through the sleepy North Waikato settlement of Glen Afton would never know it was the location of one of the country’s most tragic mining disasters.

Now, you can’t miss it. The Glen Afton Pukemiro Society, working in conjunction with a community-led development team at the Waikato District Council and others in the community, west of Huntly, has created an impressive memorial.

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

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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? 🍫
