Whatsmyhousevalue.co.nz is a free website providing estimates through real estate agents. Algorithms don’t see value in important things such as views, parking, extra garaging, gardens, etc. Emotional buyers will bring you more money. An experienced agent can help identify these and provide you with a written current market appraisal (CMA) based on your individual property.

Jamie works for DoC as a Biodiversity ranger, a job that he thoroughly enjoys. It involves a lot of fieldwork in remote parts of Fiordland, in rugged bush country. The mission is to ‘save the iconic kiwi’ and the target is a 2% annual growth in the kiwi population.
This is proving difficult because of predation, mainly by the dreaded stoat. In fact, over the last three years, none of the kiwi chicks hatched in Jamie’s area of study have survived.
Jamie’s team uses tiny radio transmitters and trail cameras to keep track of adult and young kiwis, and the stoats, possums, and keas that harass them.
Chicks hatch around August after 80 days incubation, but can’t defend themselves until they are 20 weeks old.
The solution is predator control. Trapping is not viable in such steep country, but 1080 poison drops are effective when the weather allows. These are done by helicopters using GPS for targeting.

I am seeking donations of women's hygiene products ie: sanitary, body wash, razors, toothbrushes (also boys/girls) toothpaste, wipes, deodorants, body lotion, shampoo/conditioner, makeup / makeup bags, chocolates, etc
For the boys/girls I had activity book, pencils, note books, hair ties for girls, matchbox cars for boys, bubble wands, stickers, chocolate bars, etc
My aim is to double the packs for all this xmas, I drop them off week before Xmas to Womens Refuge. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated (not just by me but the women who use Womens Refuge) :)
Easier to contact me on 027 414 6779, I can collect items if that suits, thanks xx

But whether you believe it starts on June 1st, with the winter solstice on June 21st, or when the weather packs in, now is a good time to prepare for more rain by making sure the grates over stormwater sumps (drains) in your street and on your property are free of rubbish and leaves.
