Wow, this is huge.

The last known sighting of a kiwi pukupuku on the mainland was in 1978 but they have survived.

I have a niece named after this view - Lindis Pass. It’s the greatest compliment to a child to reference something as old as the view of the sky between the mountains when their parents were deciding what to call them.

And finally, the darkest night sky imaginable at Lake Tekapo. Going out and looking up in the middle of the night, in the crisp cool air, was so amazingly head-clearing.

#StartHereSocial Fun Fact #4

Three countries that consider #Rugby their national sport also have dedicated Mastodon services, supporting those three nations' local culture and communities:

#Madagascar #Madagasikara
#NewZealand #Aotearoa
#Wales #Cymru

Correlation is not causation, but we might be on to something here. Do the shared values of teamwork and community extend from the pitch to the Fediverse?
