  2. Such a great story of living your passion.

    Ian Jones has spent 11 years turning his his backyard into a miniature railway, complete with tunnels, bridges and over 300 metres of track.
    It's up for sale including a house bus.

    Whanganui calling.

  3. Water has powered industry for centuries. This undershot waterwheel powered a flour mill. One of a number on The Whanganui river, but the only one restored.
    Something about waterwheels, belts and flywheels is so simple yet so productive in producing power.
    And it is a constant source in a river.
    Just like generating electricity, but with no middle man.
    Hmm.

  4. After a local backlash, Whanganui mayor Andrew Tripe now professes regret for giving the eulogy during a candlelit vigil for US neo-Nazi Charlie Kirk.

    Tripe claims to have known “very little” about Kirk, but his own words let him down.

    “Charlie Kirk shed his blood for us”.

    “It is our call to act on what Charlie Kirk was doing, boldly.”

    With that last line, is the mayor referring to Kirk's misogyny, his hatred of LGBQT people or just his white nationalism?
