Google Earth update

Last year I posted an article on the site about Google Earth. For those of you that may not be aware, Google Earth is an application enabling users who have the right hardware, to navigate around a 3D generated "earth" on their desktop.

Google Earth combines satellite imagery to allow exciting views of the world from a click of your mouse. Recently Google Earth has updated its databases with higher resolution satellite imagery of New Zealand, so now you can see a birds eye view of your house! How about that?

The title says it all! If you have wanted some ideas about what to get up to around Wellington, this is well worth a look. For events, courses and activities from arts & entertainment to recreation and also for the kids.

The website is a vision of Recreation Wellington, a business unit of Wellington City Council, who encourage Wellingtonians to 'feel great' by enhancing well being and healthy lifestyles through the provision of quality, accessible and affordable recreation opportunities.

Check out the website Feeling Great (website no longer exists).

Are you up for a spontaneous chat with someone? Check out this concept! Pretty simple idea really. iMeep is a new service which randomly pairs you with another individual from around the world, to instantly have a one-on-one conversation. You are asked to 'SHARE' your chat for others to view and add to their favourites.

Ten brown kiwi birds will be released in Rimutaka Forest Park

Ten brown kiwi birds will be released in Rimutaka Forest Park this weekend, each kiwi will have a radio transmitter attached while a well organised group of volunteers (GVN) join the Department of conservation (DOC) responsible for maintaining two trap lines aimed at catching kiwi predators. Its been 100 years since we had kiwis pecking around a protected area down the coast. This isn't just a extremely huge thing for Wainuiomata but the whole of New Zealand and its happening right in our backyard.

Saturday the 20th of May 2006.

Event begins 10:30am at Wainuiomata Marae for welcoming and blessing of the kiwis.
