Whether it’s an ant on your kitchen bench heaving a bread crumb back to base, or in this case, little Manukura having his first feed. This is probably a once in a life time event. Shout outs to Pukaha Wildlife Centre for their record breading season.

This sign is on the North Shore of Auckland outside a legendary vege shop. We are sure no other shops have used a “cog style splatter” effect to sell truss tomatoes before.

If you like old signs check out preserve by Mark Spurgeon.

This should get the inspiration flowing for some winter puddle jumping sessions.

Watch more of Rickard Bengtsson videos. Parking Lot Bonanza is fresh.

We’re fans of drops like Emerson’s Organic Pilsner, Epic’s Lager and Galbraith’s entire range. So it’s only natural we have a growing interest in brewing.

If you share the same interest you must check out this video of the story behind New Zealand’s latest invention. The WilliamsWarn is the world’s first personal brewery. We were lucky enough to try some beers brewed by one of these machines last week. Drinking beer this fresh was unbelievably good.  Play the video, a great watch if you like creative story telling and beer and inventions by New Zealander’s.

You can go to the WilliamsWarn HQ and taste some for youreslf too, but be warned, all beer from then on will taste old.

Somebody obviously decided enough was enough. One of the finest executions of meaningful “road art” we’ve seen in a while. Props to the maker, whoever you are.

This was our second favourite.

Where is your fav bomb spot? Ours are Bully Point on Lake Taupo, or if your feeling brave the cliffs at
Glendhu Bay on Lake Wanaka.

This must be the call for lonely white ducks.

Andy B says “Ducks are cool, why not hang out and talk with them? It’s a fun thing to do when the trout aren’t biting and you need some company out in the wilderness ”

ps: if your a New Zealander doing creative stuff, tell us about it

A well-presented working of the classic kiwi slang… Walter Hansen wondered ‘what if this crass proclamation was actually a heartfelt rumination on one’s true love?’
