Renewal of Australian passports for expats….

Cherry from Heathcote Valley

Are any of my fellow Aussie expatriates aware that to renew an Australian passport from NZ, it is necessary to travel IN PERSON to the COVID hotspots of Auckland or Wellington?

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
