Okara Loop bus service

Reporter Whangārei Leader

A bus route which links Whangarei's CBD with Okara Shopping Centre is being reintroduced on December 19. The Okara Loop route will run from Rose St back to Rose St with stops at The Hub, The Warehouse (Port Rd entrance), MegaSurf and Porowini Ave (outside Pacific Ford Group).

The route existed in 2008 but was dropped due to low passenger numbers. Do you think it will be more popular this time around? Why or why not?

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
