Hi neighbours, kākāpō Margaret Maree has been cared for by Auckland Zoo for the past eight months after an outbreak of aspergillosis.
Now, she is well enough to go home. We got to go to her final CT scan which gave her the all clear to go back to Whenua Hou/Codfish Island.

During this event we’ll be joined by knowledgeable and passionate speakers to celebrate the diversity and deliciousness of plants, get some top tips on how to grow our own plant kingdoms and learn more about how we can thrive on a plant-based diet.
We’ll explore the importance of growing our food, especially for those of us living in cities, as well as the core reasons why a growing number of us are choosing to eat more plants - environmental, ethical or health.
We are looking forward to hear from our guest speakers Sarah Tanner, vegan influencer who’s trying to weave in a little more eco consciousness, and Judy Keats AKA Green sister, Organics Educator, City Farm Manager, Permaculture Practitioner and Compost Facilitator.
Come along to meet like-minded individuals, join an interactive discussion, sharing and action setting on how you can have an impact.

The passenger, who did not want to be named, told the Herald he arrived in Auckland from Beijing on Monday evening. "There was no one checking passengers' temperatures at Customs, through immigration, anywhere," he said. "I just walked out." Even though he and other passengers mentioned they had recently travelled to Wuhan, they left Auckland Airport only clutching a health pamphlet, he said. It was poles apart from the health screening he had seen in China, where travellers' temperatures were taken at multiple points at Hong Kong airport. Despite feeling fine and seeing no one on his flight seeming to be ill, he said the lack of screening made him nervous. "Every single person on the flight was wearing a mask, protecting themselves and trying not to spread anything. "I'm perfectly fine, but it was very unusual." The passenger's concerns follow comments online by shocked passengers who recently entered New Zealand unscreened. One passenger, who returned to Auckland via Hong Kong with their family only two days ago, took to Reddit to write about their arrival from a self-imposed isolation. They wrote that travellers faced strict precautions at Hong Kong airport and filled out questionnaires on their recent travel. "At the entrance of Hong Kong International Airport, workers were checking documents and only allowing those who had flights within 24 hours in. "Everyone was wearing masks. Before passing through security, temperatures were taken again." But when they arrived in Auckland, there was no indication of the global coronavirus outbreak but a few posters and a few people wearing face masks. "The customs worker who served us wasn't even wearing a mask and there was no temperature check," the passenger wrote. "The E-gates were still open too. It would've been very easy for someone to slip through." Despite extensive media coverage of the coronavirus outbreak, the passenger wrote that it felt as if the outbreak "didn't exist" in New Zealand. "It was a stark contrast from my experience in China and Hong Kong. I'm wondering whether it was because my flight was from Hong Kong rather than mainland China and because it was early in the morning and they had not yet implemented the new procedures they said they would in the news." A Ministry of Health spokesman said that from last Monday, public health staff have been at Christchurch and Auckland International Airports as flights from mainland China arrive. "Staff have been taking the temperatures of anyone who is feeling unwell and anyone with a temperature higher than 38 degrees Celsius will be referred for appropriate assessment," he said. "Yesterday public health staff met approximately 2500 passengers on six scheduled flights and 7 passengers and crew on one private flight arriving at Auckland Airport and 230 passengers and crew on one flight arriving at Christchurch International Airport from mainland China." None of those travellers met the suspected case definition for Novel coronavirus.

==================================
Auckland Lantern Festival began in 2000 as a one-night event, featuring second-hand lanterns from Singapore. Now, it is the country's largest cultural festival, attracting between 165,000 and 200,000 people across four days.
Witness the spectacular illumination of hundreds of handmade lanterns that depict a range of elements from Chinese culture; treat yourself at a variety of stalls selling delicious Asian food and craft; watch stunning performances of traditional or contemporary dance and music from international and local talent, and enjoy demonstrations from masters of martial arts.
Originally inspired by the traditional lantern festivals of China, Auckland Lantern Festival has now become a uniquely Auckland-Chinese event, enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.
