Hazy weekend for New Zealand.. again
Hazy skies caused by the tragic Australian bush fires are set to linger this weekend.
Northwesterly winds have blown a hazy plume of smoke across the Tasman Sea, and while it has mostly affected the South Island in recent weeks, it has moved up the country.
The "robust plume" is expected to head to the South Island late on Saturday.
The haze has been causing a yellowish-orange, hue at sunset, making for some sweet sunset photos. Share your photos in the comments!

Poll: Could we live without public bins?
Many public rubbish bins are being removed by councils due to the large costs of regularly emptying them. Do you think we can adapt and live without them?

Great mahi from our friends at Life Education Counties Manukau
Our friends over at Life Education Counties Manukau parked up their mobile classroom and set up shop at Sutton Park School from March 18 to April 10. For these four weeks they worked with more than 500 Year 1 to 8 students, taking them through various health education lessons with specialist teacher, Carleen. With the school holidays underway it's a perfect opportunity for them to display their new knowledge at home.
We are proud to support Life Education, to help ensure these important health lessons are available to as many students as possible.
Ka Pai Life Education and Sutton Park School!
