What a Weekend!
That's a wrap on the 2024 Fish 'n Chicks competition! πͺπ
What a great turnout! Although the weather wasn't the best (keeping fishing within the harbour) it was a successful weekend with the winning snapper coming in at 3.39kgs (pictured below)
It was great to be there, and we look forward to the next one!π₯

Watch out for this pretty flower
Green thumbs are being asked to watch out for a beautiful but toxic flower that could be growing in their backyards.
What you need to know:
- Every part of the plant is poisonous, and can cause gastroenteritis, thirst, paralysis, blindness, and heart and kidney failure.
- This plant is hardy and normal pest control efforts are often not enough to eradicate.
- The cape tulip, growing up to 90cm high with one strap-like leaf, was introduced to Aotearoa in the 1940s, the Ministry for Primary Industriesβ manager for pest management John Sanson said. βCape tulips, like many of these invasive weeds, are really attractive ornamental species ...but they escape over peopleβs backyard fences and into pasture, as these things often do,β
- It was classified as a noxious plant in the late 1970s after they were discovered to cause harm to livestock and humans, even killing animals when too much as ingested.
- The salmon-pink flowers bloom for about two days a year between June and December, and have previously been an ornamental species for keen gardeners.
Sanson urged people who believed they had the weed growing on their property to leave it untouched and contact Biosecurity New New Zealandβs Exotic Pest and Disease on 0800 80 99 66.
Once a site was confirmed, manual removal or chemical treatment would start.
