Join your neighbours to explore Northland of the yesteryear and share photos and memories of how Northland used to be.
Find out the history of this incredible photo by joining the Group now.
Don't have a lot of money to splash around but am seriously considering installing a reasonably small water tank to catch rainwater. Needs to be reasonably close by and reasonable price.
Farmers used the Northland Field Days' opener to tell politicians how much the drought is impacting them. Some say more Government support is needed but Agricultural Minister Damien O'Connor disagrees. What do you think?
Northland principal rural fire officer Myles Taylor says lighting fires in extreme conditions like this is stupid and ludicrous, and could cause a fire with catastrophic consequences. He encourages anyone who sees smoke to ring 111. Why do you think people are still lighting fires?

Showcasing their passion for life, Ryman residents from New Zealand and Australia feature in the film. Let’s meet the stars.
“If I hear music, I just want to dance – body seems to just move!” says dancer Audrey, 84. Poet Brian, 86, says “Poetry helps me to question and understand the meaning of life”, followed by a witty “– haven’t worked out what it means yet”.
As their residents blaze their own trails, Ryman matches that pioneering spirit. “Ryman villages offer living choices to suit everyone so that you can live the way you want.”

Now, upskilling, online courses and on-the-job training are all part of making your way up the career ladder.
We want to talk to people who have completed micro-credentials, bitesize qualifications for specific skills.
