Pest contractors would work in Swampy Ridge, Pineapple Track, Flagstaff and Nicols Falls from early May to June 30. OSPRI lower South Island general manager Vivienne Larsen said: “We’re on the pathway to eradicate bovine TB. We need possum numbers to be at sustained low levels for at least three years. “We know the area is popular for walkers – we frequently use it ourselves – and we’ve taken great care to mitigate risks to pets while still performing effective and essential possum control.”

Upon recently turning 21, I asked myself a bunch of questions, as any true Pisces would. Who am I and what am I doing? What is life? And am I making the most of it? Most importantly, how can I get triple caked up?
Motivated by the threat of time, I decided to embark on an experiment in the hopes of answering these questions. I took my taro legs and trotted up Baldwin St for 30 days. Some of them were in a row, but most of them weren’t, I’m not gonna fake the facts for content.
