RED BULL
Red Bull s iconic Flugtag competition for homemade flying contraptions is coming to New Zealand for the first time in 17 years.
Come November 27, teams of brave inventors will hurl themselves off an Auckland pier and into the waters below, all in the name of Flugtag. It’s a welcome return to New Zealand for the Red Bull Flugtag competition, which last graced our shores in 2004 when it was hosted in Wellington. The competition will see amateur aviators design, build and then fly contraptions in a bid to be crowned winner. The thousands of people set to descend upon Wynyard Quarter to see the event are likely to keep business booming for local hospitality hotspots.

Listen up, all of you at the back of the classroom. We ve always loved visiting our cuzzies across the dutch (sorry, ditch). For a lot of us it had almost become Hobbit forming (we re even starting to talk like them, what with all of this inflationary bubble business).
But we ve been worlds apart for more than a year now, thanks to you-know-what, and much has happened in that time. There s a whole heap of new attractions, hotels, restaurants, places to discover and old favourites with which to reconnect.

Now that we re finally able to return to our if not nearest, certainly dearest, neighbour, it s time to brush up on those old Kiwi playbooks, re-learn what we ve been missing, check out what s new and polish up our manners. What could possibly go wrong, aside from a sudden snap lockdown or two?
