Christmas decorations so amazing jet passengers see them from the air

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

If you want to feel humbled by your own attempts at Christmas cheer, take a drive past Liam and Kim Dawson’s place. Or better still stroll past and enjoy real snow – this year there’s a new snow machine on order.

The Queenstown couple just love Christmas. Everywhere they have lived, starting with their home in England, they have pushed the boat out, gaining a reputation for their Christmas displays. And for the past two years, the display has been in Woodstock Road, Upper Shotover. You can’t miss it – even passengers flying into Queenstown Airport after dark can see this one.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
