Kawakawa trees - male or female?

Jenny from

Last week, visiting an area we had freed from honeysuckle and other weeds in 2019, we were delighted to see the first flowering of a male kawakawa. (Photo below left)

We were surprised to see it mature so soon after we had planted it in 2020 as a 10 cm high seedling.

Poll: Is the letterbox obsolete?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?

Settling the Waikato with Marie Hickey
Wednesday 2 August 2023, 12pm-1pm
Whare Wananga, L2 Central City Library,
44-46 Lorne St, Auckland City Centre
also online via Zoom

In the early 1860s, the Government developed a scheme to bring large numbers of people to settle in the North Island. The reality was that a vastly reduced number of immigrants were brought out under what became known as the Waikato Immigration Scheme (not to be confused with the military settlers of the four Waikato Regiments). This talk looks at the range of records of this scheme, from passenger lists, land allocation, provision of seed, etc. What requirements did they have to fulfil to be accepted? What incentive was offered? Who was sent where? Where are records/information held?

About the speaker
Marie Hickey has worked at Research Central, Auckland Central Library for 17 years; before that, she worked at the Society of Genealogists in London for 11 years prior to returning to New Zealand. In her job, Marie undertakes research, help and advice to customers researching family, local and New Zealand history. Marie has spoken at conferences, family history groups, and library groups and regularly presents at the annual Auckland Family History Expo held each August. At least one of her talks has been recorded and can be found on Auckland Libraries’ YouTube Channel.

To attend in "Settling the Waikato" in person, please book via Eventfinda;

Register to attend via Zoom for this event:

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the event.

For New Zealand Family History Month
Marie will also be speaking at the Auckland Family History Expo 11-13 August, at the Fickling Convention Centre.

Like the fairytale Ugly Duckling, an invasive weed tree in a hedge will keep you busy, not with feeding but with endless pruning.

Whether you have a driveway border, ornamental garden or a patch of bush, you can reduce the costs of trimming and pruning by accurately identifying the “ugly duckling”. In the photos below, the ugly duckling is a tree privet in a regularly trimmed kohuhu hedge.
