What makes it such a stand-out spot? Any tips you may be able to offer on the best things to see and do there - as well as the best places to grab a drink or bite to eat - would be much appreciated. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article. Thanks again.

Come and try Spin Poi before Christmas

Playing with poi is a lot of fun! SpinPoi can be done sitting or standing and is suitable for almost everyone. Inspired by traditional poi, it has been adapted by Dr Kate Riegle van West to be a safe and effective exercise, especially for older populations. On top of the usual benefits of exercise, typically people will see improvements in grip strength, attention, focus, balance and coordination.

Karori Community Centre
Friday, 4 December, from 11.15 am to 12.00 pm
Price: $4

No need to book. Poi provided. Or there some new sets available for sale if you want your own personal set. The class is suitable for beginners to intermediate. It will be 45 minutes long and we cover:

o Welcome, safety reminders and warm up
o Practice of basic poi movements
o Playtime! 20-25 minutes of poi to music
o Cool down

Deb Gully has been leading seated exercise for seniors for more than 10 years and is now Wellington's first certified SpinPoi instructor. She has been taking Spin Poi classes on Zoom, and is thrilled to now be teaching live classes. For more information on SpinPoi, and to see video of people playing with poi, go to www.spinpoi.com...

If you're interested, but can't make it to any of these, email Deb on deb@frot.co.nz or call 04 934 6366 for information on classes in other areas.

Zealandia is reporting that one of their takahē is sitting on a nest.
"While we are excited about this, these birds live at Zealandia as a retiree couple, which means the likelihood of any egg hatching is quite low."
Takahē live in swampy environments and so run the risk of their egg washing away in big weather events. Zealandia say they will do their best to protect the nest and are promising to keep the public informed of any positive outcomes.
