Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

For Thursday, the 29th June at 6pm we are screening the heart warming Australian film, A Stitch in Time.

Our 8pm screening is Blueback, a film based on the book of the same name by Tim Winton.

Both screenings will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre.

A Stitch In Time
Australia, 2022, Drama, 92 mins, Rated M
Cast: Maggie Blinco, Glenn Shorrock, Belinda Giblin, John Gregg.

A retired dressmaker, Liebe begins to make clothes for money again after her partner loses his job as a singer in a pub.

In the process of regaining her skills, Liebe attracts the interest of younger designers, who are fascinated with her traditional techniques and use of tulle and sequins. As such, Liebe gains a following and her newfound popularity reignites her passion for her craft and opens a door to a new chapter in her career and life.

"Funny and inspirational. This is the story of everyone's life. A movie for all ages."

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.

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!
