NEWLANDS FOOTBALL RUBY CRICKET SOFTBALL DOGS AND WALKING PARK
Does anyone know what's happening at the park with the mountains of sand courtesy of Hammond Spreading, Wairarapa? Apart from the fact they have completely obliterated the 2 disabled car parks this also poses a serious H&S risk especially to young children and dogs as they are at risk of being buried and suffocating in the sand! The WCC does not appear to know nor are they interested - they've got their rates increases off the able bodied and disabled members of the community so it's not their problem!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.

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!
