Wanaka
Wanaka A&P Show |
 |
The
Upper Clutha A & P show was first held in Cromwell in
1895. Now set on the beautiful shores of Lake Wanaka, it
is arguably one of the most stunning settings in the
country for an A & P Show. The Upper Clutha A & P Show
is the second largest agricultural and pastoral show in
the South Island. It is traditionally held around the
second weekend in March and is one of the last shows of
the year.
It is
one of Wanaka's major annual events and is supported by
the whole community and indeed enjoyed by all
competitors, spectators and trade exhibitors. |

Auckland
New Penguin crèche
opens at Kelly Tarlton’s
|
 |
Auckland’s newest, and coolest,
day-care centre has opened at Kelly Tarlton’s. This
crèche isn’t a time-out spot for younger visitors – it
has been created especially for this seasons Gentoo
penguin chicks and is designed to replicate the way they
are raised in the wild.
10 Gentoo chicks have
recently hatched at Kelly Tarlton’s. Some of the eldest
are hitting the age where they start getting into
trouble, so the crèche has been set up to keep them safe
and stimulated – and to give mum and dad a well-deserved
break!
|
|
Visitors will have a great
view of the crèche from the Snowcat ride and viewing
windows but some lucky folk will also get to see the
very small chicks. Their parents feed them a diet of
partially digested and regurgitated herrings that looks
like a fishy gruel – not very appetising to us but a
real winner for the chicks who have huge appetites and
are therefore regularly popping out from under their
parent’s protection to ask for more. |
