West Coast Topographical Maps
UPDATE: The maps have been claimed by a former land surveyor.
Hello, I have several large West Coast topographical maps that must have been my father's in his hunting days. They are all old however, and are in miles, not kilometres. All have some wear and tear but are legible. There is Murchison, Maruia, Hokitika, Greymouth, Punakaiki, Charleston, and two of Buller (one is post 1967 as it has a price of $15 on it). If these are of use or interest to anyone, please text me on 021 259 3472. If all else fails Creative Junk might be interested in them for arts and crafts.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
