Gibbs Farm Trip
Last weekend Paul took a Papamoa retirement village group on a 2–day trip to the wonderful Gibbs Farm & other North-Auckland venues.
Gibbs Farm is an open-air sculpture park containing the largest collection of large-scale sculptures in NZ.We had permission to drive around the park to help with mobility issues.
Prior to the park, the group viewed the gannet colony at Muriwai. A bit sparse on gannets! On Saturday, the group headed from our accommodation to the Matakana Farmers’ Market, before travelling on to Morris & James to view their beautiful range of hand-made pottery. Several hours were then spent exploring the gardens & galleries at the exceptional Sculptureum
En route for home we visited Chocolate Brown Chocolaterie for a tasting of their hand-made beautiful, award-winning chociolate
A really enjoyable tour & we’ll look forward to doing it again later in the year.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
