No one dreams bigger than an Olympian, and nothing connects us as a nation quite like sport!
As a proud partner of the New Zealand Olympic Team, we’re getting behind our Olympians so they can turn their dreams into a reality.
This week we feature a stunning close-up but what type of bird is it?

"When I was young I didn’t like the boatsheds. To my eye they looked derelict and unkempt – a hotchpotch of too bright clashing colours, and all of them peeling to reveal bleached wood underneath. They reminded me of my Nana’s crocheted rugs with frayed threads and darned patches. I liked things shining, new, and squared away. Anything else smacked of some sort of failure, either of duty or poverty.
Now that I’m older, and not untouched by time myself, I realise that decay is inevitable, and, more importantly, there is texture and beauty in it. The sea, like life, can be a rough place. The winds carry salt and sand, storm surges leave marks and baggage piled around the high tide mark, sometimes spilling over onto the little docks. But in this flotsam, rotting seaweed, silt, and tangled tree branches are a million little bugs, fish, and crabs – a roiling primordial soup seasoned with iodine and salt and feasted on by the birds. Nothing is lost - just transformed. Sacred kingfisher/kōtare (Todiramphus sanctus) catching the light at the Hutt Estuary boatsheds, Hikoikoi Reserve, Lower Hutt."

I see there is a substantial increase in charges at the Silverstream Landfill as of 1 July 2021 which is coincidental with the new/revised LHCC rubbish collection.
The previous charge per singular vehicle was $15 and has now become $25 [a 66% rise], the other charges for various combinations/ … View moreI see there is a substantial increase in charges at the Silverstream Landfill as of 1 July 2021 which is coincidental with the new/revised LHCC rubbish collection.
The previous charge per singular vehicle was $15 and has now become $25 [a 66% rise], the other charges for various combinations/ vehicle types have also increased dramatically. A small trailer has gone from $35 to $50, all of which represent exorbitant increases, imposed by stealth it would seem as I saw no previous advice or notice of this intent. I wonder if others have noticed this and what their thoughts may be. With an expected increase in costs for the new rating period of 13 to 16% it makes one wonder, are we really getting value for our hard-earned $$.
