However, I’ve just had a great gift idea from a friend and I thought I’d share it with you! She’s put together a couple of emergency ‘grab bags’ for both her children, using backpacks and a range of useful items (all bought on special). Better still, there’s enough room for each person to add some personal gear. This definitely ticks the ‘good ideas’ box for me!

Property owners around Woodbourne and Ohakea were told on Thursday defence staff wanted their consent to obtain water samples from wells, drains or streams on their properties for testing.
