Anyone for a Train ride today?

Alison Neighbourly Lead from Kamo

If you are looking to entertain some little (or big) humans today, the clubs are putting on the full trifecta of rides. Big and small choo-chooos as well as tractor rides are on offer at Kiwi North.
The team at the Whangarei Rock and Gemstone Club are here today too. Slicing, polishing and making crafts are on the agenda so check them out while you are here.
A Vaccine Pass is not required to ride the big trains.

Kiwi North is at 500 State Highway 14, Maunu
And, if you have never been there, you should. When was the last time (if ever) you have had a close encounter with a Kiwi or ancient Tuatara?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
