Ep2: Okupe Lagoon, North End of Kapiti Is.

Paul from Levin

Yesterday, I quoted from Wikipedia including this sentence:
"The ensuing Battle of Waiorua, at the northern end of the island, ended with the rout and slaughter of the landing attackers who were disadvantaged by difficult terrain and weather plus divided leadership."
What happened to all those who died in the battle?
I understand their bodies were put into this lagoon.
What am I going on about? Ep3 tomorrow evening. You might like to prepare by investigating the word "Orbs" on Google.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
