Auckland - help Muriwai get back on its feet!
Join a very special event to support Muriwai - the Muriwai Community Rebuild Charity Lunch & Auction. Landslides have devastated the Muriwai community. Hardworking Kiwis have lost everything and are now facing extraordinary uncertainty.
With support from Waimauku Lions, Kumeu Rotary, Allely Estate & Wine Time have come together to raise over $150,000 for the Muriwai Community Association by holding a charity lunch at Allely Estate this Sunday 26th March from 12pm to 4pm.
Proceeds from the auction plus ticket and drinks sales are earmarked for the Muriwai Community Recovery Charitable Trust.

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!
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.”
