A light brush with the nettle on your leg or arm, can leave you with a tingling sensation that persists for 24 hours.
Ongaonga has been linked to unexplained deaths of people walking through a dense patch and being overcome. With this mind, I decided to have a go cutting back a particularly annoying patch on our main track to the paddock we call, Waterses.
The Ongaonga bushes were above and below the track so I had to form a strategy so that I would safe. I found a large set of old tree branch loppers (giant secateurs) in the shed and then opted to take a piece of cloth, that used to cover our cool display cabinet in my old café.

All viewings and enquiries through Barfoot and Thompson Beachlands.
In the heart of this thriving coastal community awaits an opportunity for those looking for a bit of the great outdoors in their own back garden.
Single level with a great sun aspect, this 3-4 bedroom Stonewood home opens onto an enviable 1,124m2 section. There's 3 double bedrooms plus a separate study that could be a 4th single bedroom if required. The home itself enjoys high ceilings throughout, a substantial open plan family area that extends to covered living, a large separate lounge and modern kitchen with an impressive walk in pantry.
It's new enough to be double glazed yet mature enough to enjoy established fruiting trees and it's position on a quiet cul de sac street offers unique reserve walkways that pop you out near the school or the beach in casual fashion.
It's a move-in and relax situation and being low maintenance there will be time to enjoy the area's recreational offerings ranging from water sports, fishing, and social sporting teams to mountain biking trails, golf and a host of dining options. Or just put out a picnic blanket and relax in your own back garden.
Beachlands offers an alternative laid back coastal lifestyle within Auckland. The local ferry is there to get you into the CBD and all the offerings of the eastern suburbs are within easy reach, yet when you're home you'll feel like you are in another world altogether.
For sale through Barfoot and Thompson. Please contact agent if interested in a viewing or to discuss further. All contact and negotiation through Barfoot and Thompson only

Hokitika has been named the most welcoming town in NZ in Booking.com's 10th annual Traveller Review Awards.
Would be keen to hear from those who live there or who have visited whether they think the town really is exceptionally friendly. What makes it a welcoming place, or otherwise? Were there any cafes, restaurants, shops or other places you received a particularly warm welcome?
Lake Tekapo and Oamaru came in second and third place respectively, followed by Cambridge, Picton, Invercargill, Martinborough, Kerikeri and Palmerston North. Would also love to hear from you if you have thoughts on these places. Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts?

Kia ora Neighbours, A contested decision by politicians on the Upper Harbour Local Board to mow down 8,000 native plants and young trees, could bring a hefty bill. Council staff reject that there was a mistake in the planting, and now there could be a big bill. What do you think ?
