Bald eagles, a Weddell seal, a gentoo penguin, a three-toed sloth, a grey whale and a curious racoon are just some of the many animals featured in The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, opening on Friday at Auckland Museum.

This week, visitors to the Museum will get their first opportunity to immerse themselves in some of the most vibrant, fascinating images collected this year of the vast and varied nature of life on Earth. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition is the world’s most prestigious international nature photography exhibition, direct from London's Natural History Museum.
The longest-running nature photography exhibition in the world, it is known for inspiring curiosity and wonder, while also reminding us of the fragility of our planet and our responsibility to protect it.

Among those featured is the work of 14-year-old Aucklander, Cruz Erdmann, who won the title of Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year for his snap of a bigfin squid illuminating the inky blackness of the ocean.

Don't miss your chance to see up close the images that have got the whole world talking. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition is free with Museum entry.

“Relax with me and your choice of tea and listen to what flows spiritually”
Sue, straight to the point, fun and a very ‘in tune’ local lady who gives wonderful Tea Leaf and Angel Card readings will talk about her spiritual journey up to this point in her life.
Tea Leaf reading was introduced very early on in life for Sue and it’s an art not often found these days. We’re lucky to have her!
Sue will explain some of the really interesting aspects of this method of reading along with her knowledge in reading Angel Cards too.
Come along and learn a little about these two methods and, no doubt, there will be plenty of fun and laughter too!

Attendees will go into a FREE draw on the night for a reading with Sue (Sue’s readings include both tea Leaf Reading and Angel Cards)

Sue can be contacted on 021 110 4230

Everyone welcome, this is an open group, come along if you can, look forward to seeing you there!
