Gather your whanau and head to Devonport for the Staycation Scavenger Hunt!
Up until 31 March, New Zealand Red Cross are running a shop-window scavenger hunt on Victoria Road, Devonport for families to enjoy!
The scavenger hunt is based on the not-so-true story of Kanoa the clumsy Kākāpō, who has lost 10 holiday items in 10 different shop windows. Kanoa needs your help to find her missing items so she can enjoy her kiwi summer staycation to Devonport! Find all 10 and you can enter the prize draw to win some amazing prizes too!
Purchase your scavenger hunt map for $4 from Devonport library or from the New Zealand Red Cross website - 100% of the proceeds of the shop-window scavenger Hunt will go to New Zealand Red Cross!
A perfect activity for the school holidays or a sunny Saturday afternoon!

Does anyone remember them from their childhood? These strange slots allowed you to rid yourself of an old razor and never think of it again...but it also meant, years down the track, that someone renovating would be in for a nasty, rusty surprise.
I'm certain I've seen something like this here in Aotearoa-NZ, but can't for the life of me recall where. It was in the back of the medicine cupboard. Let us know if you've seen, had - or have - one in your home.
The historic villa which housed St Catherine’s Convent in Picton is going under the hammer next month. It has a rich and colourful history. Do you have any memories of it? Have you ever been inside? Or did you perhaps attend classes taught by the nuns?

Akoranga, Smales Farm and Constellation bus stations on Auckland's North Shore and Panmure train station have boosted bike parking to 80 spaces.
New shelters have been installed allowing cyclists to store their bikes inside or under cover.
Dedicated motorcycle parks in the park and ride area are now available at Akoranga, Smales Farm and Constellation bus stations.
Rachel Freebairn, AT Metro's head of facilities, said demand for bike parking had certainly increased.
"More and more people are choosing to ride a bike to connect with bus or train travel which has meant there has been a shortage of suitable parking at some bus and train stations."
Freebairn said the roll out is part of AT's ongoing programme to improve cycling facilities across public transport hubs.
Bike Auckland chairwoman Barb Cuthbert said she was delighted by the increased parking along the Northern Express Busway and the bike shelters.
More people were using e-bikes to cope with hilly North Shore roads and wanted extra security at the bike parks, Cuthbert said.
The upgrade will ease pressure on car parking, she said.
Do you bike to public transport stations and ride to work?
Do you plan to use the facilities more often thanks to the boost in bike parks?

The Marlborough Museum will be holding their Natural History Week, with a range of exciting events all week for kids (and adults!)
One that is sure to be a big drawcard is the 'Dead Things by Torchlight' on Monday afternoon. See the Midweek Express on Thursday for the full story.
The great kiwi deck, every home should have one. But there's a decking debate raging in DIY and Reno circles: Should the grooves go up or down?
We think we've settled the argument here.
