Oculus VR set with extra head strap and original box

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

If you are looking for a last minute gift for a tech toy fan, my son is selling his one year old Oculus Meta Quest II. He wants to buy some new computer stuff, and has hardly used the VR set.
It’s the perfect gift for motion sickness sufferers. It’s guaranteed to make them feel every motion, in the most unpleasant way possible. I should know. He put it on me.
You can play games, tour the world, or the universe, talk to friends and more. My favourite part was stacking blocks and knocking them down.

Price: $500

From Antarctica to the Outback

James Wattie Retirement Village

For Rodnie and Bryan, retirement at Ryman’s Edmund Hillary Village is all about seizing every opportunity to explore. From trekking through Nepal and enduring the cold in Antarctica to immersing themselves in Aboriginal culture in the Australian Outback, their epic retirement proves that age is no barrier to discovery. Just as Sir Edmund Hillary pushed the limits of exploration, residents of his namesake village continue to chart their own extraordinary journeys.

“We’ll keep travelling for as long as we can,” says Rodnie.
