The Seekers - Judith Durham has passed away at age 79

Rhonda Neighbourly Lead from Hastings Central

'The Seekers' Judith Durham has died at age 79.
I have written this compilation in the form of a poem to honour Judith Durham.
I hope you enjoy a blast from the past.

Hey there Georgie Girl,
Are you going on a morning town ride
When the stars begin to fall with
Chilly Winds, Wild Ride and
Red Rubber Ball

The light from the lighthouse
Colours my life
Love is kind, and love is wine
Keep a dream in your pocket and
Whiskey in the jar repeating the words
We shall not be moved

When will good apples fall?
Some day, one day, even
If I had a hammer and
Five hundred miles
I'll never find another you
The Carnival is officially over so
To everything, turn, turn, turn

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

New neighbour

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Okay folks, if you feed your animals outside, you might want to rethink that. We have new nocturnal neighbours, inside Havelock North.
There is a very well fed brush tail possum up the pōhutukawa tree in my garden.
I don’t know where it’s come in from, but it’s in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, so keep an eye on your pet doors, open windows and doors and pet food.
I’ll be notifying council and DOC tomorrow.
