"Kaka, were essentially extinct here in Wellington for over 100 years. Then in 2002 a small group was translocated to our fenced sanctuary Zealandia. Now Kaka fly freely around the CBD. There are approximately 1000 birds now, each with its own personality.
They now also breed outside of Zealandia, and are seen throughout the city. These clever parrots are such entertainers, and are a photographers dream.?

Through the programme, he discovered his passion for the viticulture industry and was able to secure a cadetship opportunity with the help of his mentors and programme coordinator.
Now, almost six months into his job, he feels more confident and is grateful for the support he has received. Jack encourages other young people if given the opportunity to take the course and give things a go.

"A very enjoyable afternoon spent in Pāuatahanui Inlet capturing my feathered friends, including my beloved Kōtare."
This table tennis table was made by a joiner with edge-lipped customwood . It has had a lot of use but still heaps of life left in it.
The table is in two pieces. Sorry for the quality of the photo. The underside of the table is white and it is too heavy for me to pull out and photograph properly.… View moreThis table tennis table was made by a joiner with edge-lipped customwood . It has had a lot of use but still heaps of life left in it.
The table is in two pieces. Sorry for the quality of the photo. The underside of the table is white and it is too heavy for me to pull out and photograph properly.
It comes with two trestles, bats of varying quality, balls ( the packets are full) nets and net holders etc.
Its not modern and shiny but all the bits are there.
It served out family well but they have long flown the nest living overseas.
So, I would like to think it would go to a good home where some other family can get the fun out if it that ours did.
You don't have to be very good to be able to get the ball over the net.
$100.00 for the lot

So we’ve just announced our 5th fee cut in 5 years. From 1 April, we’re lowering our total fund charge to 0.30% across our Conservative, Balanced and Growth KiwiSaver Funds and our diversified investment funds. Says Sam Stubbs, Simplicity MD: “Being a KiwiSaver manager involves huge economies of scale. Fee cuts in our industry should be frequent, but they aren’t.”
Simplicity believes in passing on the benefits of scale to our members – and we’re on track for further fee cuts in the future. Check out more details on our blog now!
This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?
