Stand at dawn this ANZAC Day
Even though public Anzac services are unable to go ahead, it doesn’t mean the tradition of remembering and commemorating our veterans and service personnel should be cancelled too.
On Saturday 25 April at 6:00 am you’re invited to remember those who have given their lives for our country by standing at your letterbox, your front door, in your lounge or on your driveway.
Wherever you are, take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your bubble. You can also listen to the dawn service broadcast live from 6.00 am on RNZ on 101.7 FM or 567 AM.

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!
