Nostalgia Film Night
The Nostalgia Night is being organized by the Westland Industrial Heritage Park and assisted by the Hokitika Lions Club and Hokitika/Westland RSA as a fundraiser for the restoration of the very rare 1914 WW1 Sunbeam Rover Ambulance. The timing of the restoration project is significant because this year commemorates the end of the World War 1 – 1918 (the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month).
With the assistance of the community and especially Clarrie Reid we have gathered together a collection of Video’s/Movies/DVD’s featuring local events and people of yesteryear, some of whom are not with us anymore.
If you want to have a fun night and enjoy memories of yesteryear, come along to the Hokitika Regent Theatre at 6.30pm on 29th September 2018.
Tickets only: $10 adults, $5 childre
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
