Becoming a Weekend Information Desk Volunteer is a great way to get amongst it at Auckland Museum!
If you’re a friendly, helpful person who would enjoy helping visitors and you’ve got a knack for communicating clearly, we would love to hear from you. You’ll receive full workshop-based training to make sure you’re skilled to field questions and provide helpful information to Museum visitors.
We ask for a commitment of approximately one half-day shift per week or per fortnight, typically on Saturday or Sunday. We would love to hear from you if you have availability on Fridays and/or Mondays also. We are seeking people who are able to make a genuine, long-lasting commitment to being an Auckland Museum volunteer.
Here’s your chance to help shape the experience people from Auckland, the rest of New Zealand and the rest of the world have at Auckland Museum.

This is NOT a book.
To my knowledge, there has never been a book published on the subject of polishing Kauri Gum. The instructions are contained in 8-A4 pages explaining how to choose the gum you want to polish, the tools and materials you will need, step by step directions on how to polish it, and some suggestions on where and how to sell it. Also, a bit of history, and an explanation of what "gum" really is so you better understand what it is you are working with.
You will have most of the things you need at home, and can begin polishing your gum for a small investment (materials) of less than $20 dollars.

The Coh, a luxury boarding house, has been so popular since opening on Symonds St on July 22 that its owner is planning to open another. What do you think of the co-living concept? Would you try it?

Hi Neighbours, Auckland Council meets for the last time on Thursday before heading to October's local body elections. Progress has been made but there has also been a lot of squabbling and spite. Do you think the councillors have done well? Read the story below.

About the same number of people as the entire 4.9 million population of New Zealand lived within an hour and a half radius of her home in California, and although she "loved her town", she was happy to trade it for less crowds and a shorter commute to Huhu Studios.
Mosley hits cinemas on October 10, conveniently during the school holidays. Will you be watching?
