Fun free things to do school holidays, visit the Museum!

Auckland Museum

Remember the days before GPS and Google Maps?

This summer we’re encouraging families who visit the museum to join the ranks of great historical navigators with our free activity Quest of the Navigators.

Using a special map, you can follow our clues to discover what skills, tools and knowledge was used in the pre-digital age, which will help you explore the Museum’s galleries in a fun and interactive way.

Stay the course and you’ll go into the draw to win a special prize pack from the Museum shop!

Home made bread problem

Karen from Totara Vale

Is anyone else having trouble with bread dough not rising properly?

I used to be able to turn out a decent loaf but now the bread is half the height - if that - and very dense.

I've used 4 different brands of yeast including the type bakers use to no avail. I've changed the flour to the best available and I've followed the recipe meticulously.

It can only be the flour?

What do you think?
