The theme, Out of Place, was chosen by festival organisers to give the capital’s eateries inspiration for the month-long event which will take place in August. The organisers hope the restaurants will transport their guests to far-flung destinations with their international offerings.
Diners will also be able to go back in time. Daisy’s is set to celebrate Aunt Daisy, the well-known radio personalty who has been called New Zealand’s first foodie. Rita’s has been inspired by the dinners of early Pākehā settlers with their event Colonial Goose.
Katherine Mansfield’s childhood home will host guests, as will the Interislander, with restaurant Shepherd hosting a multi-course meal onboard the Kaitaki to recreate the golden age of travel.
Pink, red, yellow, climbing, rambling, oh so beautiful they are. New Zealand's rose breeders and specialist nurseries have such a treat for you. Pictured here is 'My Sweetheart' from Matthews Nurseries, and there's lots more. Sit back and enjoy.

"I am super sweet and thanks to my amazing foster family, I am used to dogs, cats and children.
I will need to be adopted to a home with an existing female rabbit, so if you have a lonely rabbit, maybe we could be friends. I will need a weather-proof hutch, with a run for day time. At night, I will need a space inside your home. it can be a room, or a hutch, but some where I can spend time with the family.
If this sounds like your set up, please be in touch with my care givers to make an appointment to meet me."

"A visit to Silverstream yesterday afternoon to see if I could find some kingfishers and I was rewarded by the sight of several of them on powerlines, swooping down to grab tasty morsels, but couldn't get close enough to any of them to get decent shots so these photos are heavily cropped. At one point a kingfisher was sharing his line with a huge group of Starlings! I loved watching the two magpies displaying teamwork when tearing at a clump of grasses! As I walked through St Pats, the sparrows were enjoying a dustbath!"
Thank you, Aotearoa.
