Great gift for Xmas
The Wairarapa Archive has just reprinted and updated 'On the Edge', which tells the stories of Wairarapa’s coastal communities from Castlepoint to Cape Palliser. Author, Jim Graydon, writes about the history and development of each settlement and outlines what makes them different and unique. The book is lavishly illustrated, mostly by Jim’s magnificent photographs. Just the best present for anyone who loves the beautiful Wairarapa, especially the coast. This is a great book for your book shelf at the beach. It costs $55.

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.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
