Shout-out to New Zealand folk:
If you can spare a moment, please can you tell me some of your favourite bands and musical artists from your country? Any genre is good!
I want to make a playlist and I'd rather hear about what you love and explore from there than asking Google. ❤️
Edit: After all of your suggestions so far, I have a 7 hour playlist of entirely-new-to-me music and I'm particularly in love with These Four Walls, The Beths, and Coast Arcade!
Are you all signed and hyped up for the #AotearoaBikeChallenge? 🚲
I am.

Really sad to see this waste of fish, and likely to become a lot more common under the propopsed changes to fisheries rules that Minister Jones is pushing for.

Quite likely the dumping is responsibility of a commercial trawler. 🙄

Kurau Thermal Park in #Rotorua looks lovely in the right light, but - like most of the town - smells of sulphur from the local thermal springs. You get used to it, though. #photography #travelphotography #naturephotography #newzealand #aotearoa

Hi NZ fediverse, let's see if we can get this iphone back to its owner.
Found after the Christmas in the Park concert at Bowl of Brooklands, New Plymouth, early on 22nd December (so probably lost on the evening of the 21st)
