Now with student debt and the increasing cost of renting and buying a house, we are seeing the rise of the 'Boomerang babies' who stay or move back home for well into their 20's. Is this good for our communities and have you noticed it in yours?

"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.?

Previously unemployed and struggling with anxiety, Jack found a new path after joining the Toroa Career Navigator programme run by Graeme Dingle Foundation Marlborough.

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.

The Tyre Clinic provides fantastic services

FANTASTIC SERVICE. The total price was v competitive and the service was excellent. Jason took the time to understand my driving patterns and recommend a mid-price tyre that would be best value over the life of the tyre. They also provide FREE 2-monthly checks with tyre pressure and wheel rotations. This lengthens tyre life and safety - and further increases value for money. And they are lovely to deal with.

I used to be a loyal customer at Tony's but have found that, since they changed ownership, the service has gone down and total price has possibly gone up. Quoted price might be lower but some firms push services like alignments when they aren't necessary.

Give them a call on 04 2321133, or jason@thetyreclinic.co.nz
