Hi Hamilton,

Should New Zealanders be better educated on the behaviour of potentially dangerous wildlife?

While shark attacks are rare in New Zealand waters, it pays to remain vigilant if you are in the water Niwa expert Warrick Lyon says.

He states that people should refrain from swimming in deep channels of water where shallow water meets deep water in reef drop offs with one Department of Conservation expert advising against swimming at dusk.

20+ year old San Pedro cacti. This giant beauty blooms annually around Christmas time and has a really sweet fragrance.

It is easy to grow as you just needs leave it to dry for a few days and then stick in a pot or the ground. The key is to make sure you don’t dig it in too deep as it will cause it to rot.

Open to offers for the entire plant or for fresh cuttings. I also have two sections drying that would be ready to be planted mid January.

Cuttings can be posted at buyers cost.

We are a group of elderly women who knit blanket squares, jerseys, scarves, hats for poor people in Moldova and Romania and we are always looking for wool to keep us going. We knit and crochet for the group, 'Mission without Borders' , which is made up of people who want to help those less fortunate than we are in NZ. They arrange to ship the work when it is completed. It is a non-denominational organisation who want to share some of the abundance we have in NZ with people who are less fortunate than we are.
Please call me if you can help and I will arrange for pick-up. My number is 021-057-0371. Kind regards and thanks. Pat G.
