We're on the lookout for the most beautiful spots in New Zealand, and would love to hear your favourites.
While it will be impossible to include all of them in one article, we'd appreciate your help in narrowing it down. What do you think are most beautiful places in NZ's regions? Do you have a favourite spot in the Waikato, Taranaki, Canterbury, Southland or elsewhere?
Feel free to comment below, send me a message or email me at lorna.thornber@stuff.co.nz. Please include 'NFP' in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in an article. Thanks in advance for taking the time to share.
With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?

Waitākere Ranges Local Board wants to apply for accreditation to gain international dark sky park status, but there are a number of steps to address first.
An Auckland Council spokesperson said Arataki, Huia, Whatipū, Karekare, Piha, Anawhata and Te Henga were all good places in the area to see the dark sky.
Would you like to see the area get dark sky accreditation?

I have a question for those who live in the Henderson, Henderson Valley, Oratia, Sunnyvale, Swanson, Ranui and maybe Te Atatu areas.

Have any of you heard the maddening humming noise happening at night time?
For so long now, the CONSTANT humming in the wee hours has become louder and for such a longer period now.
At first I thought it maybe a truck nearby that may have a refrigerated unit attached and it's left going to maintain the cold, then I thought about Tegal right at the bottom of Bruce McLaren Road, then I thought it maybe Huhtamaki off Henderson Valley Road and now I think it maybe coming from either road works (daft as they aren't working - haha) or even the orchid where they have the farmer's market.
To be honest, I think I maybe at the beginning of losing my mind from lack of sleep, the 100% nerve tickling constant humming each and every night.
I don't even know if the above places suggested have anything to do with it or not.
To those who suggest ear plugs, headphones, calming music etc ... everything has been tried.
Noise control aren't interested as it's not above a certain decibel, but the low humming is just as bad, if not worse as it's constant.
A couple of nights ago, it sounded as though it was humming really loudly from the ground up.
Is it so wrong that I want to stand outside at night and scream or should I be reaching for the bottle (who can aford that now?)?
I will be interested to hear your thoughts and/or experiences with this maddening noise.
