Like most Kiwi families, my husband and I both hold down full time jobs as well as keep up with busy family life, our kids after school sports practices and games take up most of our afternoons and evenings So the last thing we want do when arriving home at 7pm or even later some nights is cook and clean up! We just want to eat, unwind and get the kids into bed and up early for tomorrow!

This is just one of the many accounts of the roaming giants that ...
The now quiet suburbs of Rototuna have a colourful history, with plenty of interesting characters making this area their home over the years. Few of those characters were quite as flamboyant as the patriarch of one well known farming family of the 1920s and his beloved game birds.

Much to his distress, his beloved pigeons began disappearing during their races, never to be seen again. Locals tell us that a...

The central North Island of New Zealand contains a globally significant and treasured conservation area, and is a remote and spectacular wilderness. A volcanic plateau creates a unique ecosystem that supports an abundance of flora and fauna amidst the rugged environment.
A trio of active volcanic mountains – Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu – have stood here as sacred sentinels for over 300,000 years. The area is culturally and spiritually significant for New Zealand Maori, and all who visit fall under its magical spell. The air is pure, the water is clear...
