Natalie is running 160 km
To HELP our friends...
The lovely Northlander, Natalie Ganley is fundraising for Bay of Islands Animal Rescue....by running 160km in the Tarawera Ultra Marathon
On 12th February Natalie will be running 160km to support Bay of Islands Animal Rescue (BOIAR) so that they can continue to make an enormous difference in so many lives.
A year ago she adopted their their own Sunny dog from BOIAR. Natalie says “ They do an amazing job, and receive no government funding to support their work. To date BOIAR has re-homed over 3000 dogs as well as hundreds of cats, horses, sheep, pigs, cows, ducks, chickens and even rabbits and alpaca. They also provide an ongoing de-sexing programme as well as educating on how animals should be cared for.”
We believe every animal deserves to be happy, healthy and loved. You can help Natalie by contributing to the care of these vulnerable animals via the Givealittle page here: givealittle.co.nz...
Ka pai Natalie - you're inspirational!
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.

Some Choice News!
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!
