Wellington’s loss is Hamilton’s gain as the Homegrown music festival is set to return to its roots - with the Waikato “the clear choice” in the battle to host the iconic Kiwi music extravaganza.

Festival co-director Andrew Tuck ended months of speculation by confirming on Tuesday morning that after 18 years of calling the capital home, Homegrown would be returning to Waikato.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

For two decades, Kirsty Lyall has been snapping shots of other people’s dogs - all for the love of a lick and a pat.

NZSL (New Zealand Sign Language) Week 5th - 11th May

Jean from Tauwhare

Many Deaf people and children celebrate their first language - NZSL this week. Let's learn each day of the sign word of the day. Today - Figs. There is no sign language for Fig, and I am a deaf linguist who uses similar India Sign Language (note they use two hands). I borrowed sign language on… View moreMany Deaf people and children celebrate their first language - NZSL this week. Let's learn each day of the sign word of the day. Today - Figs. There is no sign language for Fig, and I am a deaf linguist who uses similar India Sign Language (note they use two hands). I borrowed sign language on loan and used one-hand signs. Here are two photos, but fortunately, I could not download the video here. In the first photo, use your fingers and thumbs close together and move upward in the shape of a tip. In the second photo, open your hand like a flower opening. Then, the sign moves upward as a tip, then downward by turning the hand upside down and opening it like a flower. I hope this makes sense for you to learn. Update I made two video clips under YouTube.

Poll: Do you think Auckland should chip in for the train service?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A proposed “gamechanger” Sunday service for Te Huia would be part-funded by Auckland if Waikato Regional Council had its way.

There’s a little over a year left in the trial of the inter-regional rail service, meaning start-up funding from NZ Transport Agency is due to dry up mid-2026.

This time, we’ve looked at the nutrient we should be focusing on as we age (and no, it’s not the carbs v fat debate!) plus some luxury rail travel - with gourmet food.

We also feature a fabulous 80s band, by which we mean the youngest member is 80!

An impromptu visit by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to Ryman’s Jane Winstone Village in Whanganui on Wednesday resulted in the largest turnout from residents that the village had seen in a very long time.

Residents who packed out the lounge and waited patiently for a chance to meet the PM said they were ‘very impressed’ at Luxon’s determination to get around everyone who had turned out to see him – even as his team started to worry he would be late for his next engagement!
