Police warning, issued 10.40am

Julie Kaio Reporter from Hauraki Herald

Due to the heavy rain and ongoing bad weather, Waikato Police are urging people to avoid any unnecessary travel around the Coromandel Peninsula today.
Senior Sergeant Dean Anderson from Waikato District Command Centre says several main roads are already water-logged or flooded and the area is effectively cut off.
“More rain is forecast for the rest of the day and high tide is still to come.
The situation is just going to get worse.
“Anyone who doesn’t need to travel is asked to stay away.

We’re getting reports of people driving to see the flooding and getting caught out.
It’s not worth the risk.
“If you do need to travel, please be careful.
Check your route before you head out, drive to the conditions and allow extra time for your journeys.”
You can get the latest on the road conditions and closures from NZTA online at www.nzta.govt.nz... or by calling 0800 4 HIGHWAYS (0800 44 44 49).

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
