URGENT: Don't swim in Lake Taupō if algae is present.
Toxic algae have been found lingering near the surface at five sites, including Five Mile Bay, Lake Terrace beach, Kinloch Beach, Whakaipo Bay and Acacia Bay.
Skin rashes, stomach upsets and respiratory symptoms such as triggering of asthmatic attacks can result from contact with the algae. Ingesting the algae can cause numbness and weakness.
Ironman has cancelled the swim leg of their 70.3 race on Saturday to protect athletes' health.

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!
