Have you heard about the trouble at the Thames Goldmine Experience?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Burgled seven times in 12 months, the volunteers running Thames’ Goldmine Experience have been left heart-broken after the theft of rare and “irreplaceable antiques”.

The Goldmine Experience is one of the Thames’ largest tourism operations and is run by the not-for-profit volunteer-based Hauraki Prospectors Association.

What do you think the group should do? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
