"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.?
We had a couple of banksia trees taken down behind our fence just over a year ago and the resulting firewood is free to anyone who wants to come and take it away. All cut into rings but needs splitting. It will involve a bit of handballing / barrowing around the house to get it to a vehicle.

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.

Have you noticed how the rankings for library book reservations have increased?

Currently I have a number of reserves, which, based on a three week loan period per reservation, range from 33 weeks (8 months) to over 10 years (for Burnam Wood). It really isn't practical to organize ones reading material even 8 months in advance, which leads me to conclude that people are missing out on access to library resources. The wait times are simply prohibitive.
This is concerning. Access to public facilities such as libraries and swimming pools is a mark of an equitable society. It's also irksome when one sees how willing KCDC is to spend money on pie in the sky projects like The Gateway and they cant find any additional funding for library books. Surely a few extra hundred for the most popular titles would not be that difficult to find. In the current high cost of living climate, reading a good book is a worthwhile activity. It doesn't use any power and it wont eat anything.
This week we feature a picture from Rosa Marie.
"A very enjoyable afternoon spent in Pāuatahanui Inlet capturing my feathered friends, including my beloved Kōtare."
