Protection for Scandinavians cemetery
One of the most important Pākehā heritage sites in Wairarapa is to get some protection.
Many of the hardy Danes, with names like Gunder Gundersen and Lars Larsen, who settled in the Wairarapa, are buried in a picturesque hill top burial ground in Mauriceville West – nestled in the hinterland halfway between Masterton and Eketāhuna.
The Lutheran Church that stood on the site was taken away a year ago and the future of the cemetery was in doubt, but Masterton District Council has agreed to looking after the cemetery.
Some Choice News!
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!

Has anybody got a concrete or water filled hand roller that they don't need anymore. I'm putting down a new lawn and need it to compact the dirt down.
