Poll: The rail solution?

Shannon Beynon Reporter from Northern Outlook

Rail has been mooted as a key solution to the daily commute. As part of our investigation, we're asking a hypothetical this morning. If rail were an option, how likely are you to use it? Assume, for this exercise, that there are adequate car parks at the northern end of your journey and the trip ends at the railway station in Addington, whereupon you rely on public transport / taxi / cycle to find your way to your destination.

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!
