Family living in shed next to charred remains of Masterton home

Reporter Community News

The constant smell of charred wood and burnt plastic reminds a Masterton family of how close they came to tragedy.
Hunkered down in a 6-metre by 5-metre tin shed near the burnt-out shell of their house, Bianca Hawea, her two teenage sons and her partner, are trying to pull their lives back together.
The saving grace is the stream of support arriving at the Clyde St property, with friends, family and strangers bringing much needed supplies.

Roller

Warren from Masterton District

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.

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!
