Poll: Are you a caving fan?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

I rarely say no to a new experience. Which is probably why I found myself, a non-swimmer with exactly zero caving experience, zipping into a wetsuit on a chilly Waitomo morning and wondering whether I was about to make national headlines for all the wrong reasons.

But how could I say no? This wasn’t just any old adventure. It was my first-ever caving expedition, my debut in a wetsuit, and my introduction one of New Zealand’s oldest tourist destinations. The promise of glowworms and underground wonder lured me in like a moth to a bioluminescent glow.

‘Simply irresponsible’: Wallaby likely kept as pet in Hamilton, regional council says

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A wallaby spotted in Hamilton was probably kept as a pet, the regional council says - and that’s “simply irresponsible”.

The dama wallaby, which had an immature joey in its pouch, was spotted in Frankton on March 3, reported and killed, Waikato Regional Council says.
