Crews yet to extinguish rural Canterbury scrub fires
Fire crews are back working to extinguish two North Canterbury scrub fires that have been burning for most of the week.
Two fires burning near the Ashley River bank in Loburn were brought under control on Thursday, but were still burning underground.

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!
