50 for 50
Kia ora neighbours - If you saw 2 young men riding scooters very early this morning from the top of Mt Climie, you were lucky enough to witness the start of an epic day of fund-raising. They are using push scooters to travel 50km from Mt Climie to Mt Victoria today raising funds for the Cancer Society NZ.
Inspired by the cancer journey of a teacher at their secondary school they have set themselves an ambitious target to raise $50,000 for the Cancer Society NZ today.
Please donate anything you can to this fundraising effort. All funds raised go straight to Cancer Society NZ. Donate here - www.youcanforcancer.org.nz...

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
