We Say/You Say: The Great Outdoors
Hi Whangārei,
What's the best walk or hike where you live?
Stuff Travel has released its top five hikes in the Northland region out of more than 100 to choose from.
The array of walks, which vary in length and terrain difficulty, take you through unspoiled beaches, and rich native forests.
In the article linked below, Lorna Thornber names Te Paki Coastal Trail, Mt Manaia Track, Cape Brett Track, and Te Whara Track as the places to visit.
What are your top walks and hikes? Let us know below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment featured in the Whangārei Leader.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
