Hi, everyone! I’m looking for a mattress (can fit king size frame) or bed. As I don’t have a car, we need to figure out how to move it. Please feel free to contact me if you have related information, many thanks!

As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.
Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.
One grower-family was targeted with a spate of $100 per day thefts.
But out-of-pocket growers have pledged to continue; keeping the "Kiwi tradition" alive, in spite of thieves.

Do you make the most of honesty stalls when you're driving throughout New Zealand?

Once you know which type of wasp to target, the next step is to use the correct control method.
- For paper wasps, there are commercially available sprays at hardware stores around the country. The important things to note are not to get too close (these sprays can go up to four metres), and to do it at dusk once the wasps have returned to their nests. If you are unsure where the nests are, you can usually follow the wasp to it, as they don't travel too far away.
- Vespex is a protein-based bait which is suitable for use on the vespula wasp species. This is usually done at landscape scale as a small tub of bait can cover a large area. You don't need to find the nests as the wasps carry the bait home with them. Vespex is not at all attractive to bees. If there is a problem in your area you can learn all about the use of vespex here. You will need to be an approved user - a short 10-minute video course is all that is required. Vespex is not suitable for paper wasps as they prefer live bait. You can also contribute to our fight against wasps here: givealittle.co.nz...

But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've seen in the beach boutiques nowadays?

The Kiwi day at the beach. It's what our summer memories are made of. It's an easy and fun way to spend a day in the sun - but is it still cheap?

In the event of a major earthquake, the pipes underground that bring drinking water to, and take wastewater from your home, could be broken.
This means you will be relying on the stored water you have at home for at least the first seven days following an earthquake. And you'll need a plan for the safe disposal of your wastewater.

Some of our successes this year - amalgamation with Kington RA; a new and revised Constitution being implemented; getting road markings installed in and around the Brooklyn village to get some better & safer parking practices established; getting a disabled carpark being re-established in the village. As well, in conjunction with local Kowhai Park/west Brooklyn residents (huge acknowledgement to your activism and vocal dissent) and the Brooklyn School we all successfully got the 17e (8.25am) bus rerouted back through the village to drop off primary/intermediate age school children into the Brooklyn village for safe access to school (Metlink had make it an express bus and was going straight into the CBD) rather than the first bus stop that the express would stop at - a crazy place on the very busy Ohiro Rd where there was no pedestrian crossing. Activism and some common sense form Metlink and GWRC making another success.
As well, we (and some local business owners) got the re-establishment of a P15 carpark on Cleveland St to assist businesses & and locals and residents access some of our local businesses services after the implementation of the new bus services / bus stops has created months of traffic disruption, confusion, vehicle snarl ups and a huge impact on both locals and the local businesses. As well, these bus stops have taken a number of car parks out of the Brooklyn village.
A major ongoing issue for GBRAI and the local business community in Brooklyn has been the disorganised and complicated establishment of the Brooklyn Library Bus Hub and the quite negative affect on businesses through - in some instances - a substantial loss of business.
For the public record, we are making public our survey of local businesses and affects of the new bus hub on Brooklyn businesses.
