HELP! DOG/HOUSE SITTER REQUIRED FOR OCTOBER HINUERA
Our house/dog sitter has had to pull out due to a family emergency. Can you fill in?
We need someone who will be at home most of most days while we are overseas 28 September until 1 November. We have two large dogs who are used to having someone around all day. Our adult daughter lives in the cottage next to the house but works full time in Hamilton.
We have a12 acre lifestyle block. You will also need to feed out (conventional sized hay bales) if necessary and feed the chooks and guinea fowl. We can offer peace and quiet and a comfortable home in a great location rent free for the month. Interested?
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
