Laser Spectacular in Greytown - this Saturday night!

Destination Wairarapa

This Saturday, Greytown’s first ever laser show will transform the skies above McMaster Street, with an impressive light and music show to see out the 2022 Festival of Christmas. It’s a great addition to any Saturday night in the region and it's FREE!

There will be four laser shows over the evening, every hour on the hour from 6pm until 9pm. To be part of the action, make your way to the top of McMaster Street, in between Main and East Streets.

At the Town Hall there'll be entertainers, fire performers, and live music from Uncle Monkey's Carl Webley. The White Swan will host a wrap up party with sweet tunes from DJ Takas. Plus Martin Bosley will have his Oyster Saloon in full swing outside Pinocchio Restaurant and Bar from 3pm - 7.30pm.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

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!
