A man of both war and peace to finish for me tonight:
"No hesitation
Just mass resistance
Pull up the survey pegs
Plough up the lands
Pull down the fences"
Moana & the Tribe - Titokowaru: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsrCGP_3PO4

Seems like a good time to post this again, for anyone who hasn't signed it: https://our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/bring-back-long-distance-passenger-rail-to-taranaki

Restoring this vital rail link would benefit over 750,000 people by providing an affordable and accessible alternative to air travel and long-distance coaches, which older and disabled passengers often find inaccessible. It would reduce reliance on private vehicles, improving road safety. Reintroducing this service would boost regional economies, uplift tourism in one of New Zealandâs most beautiful and under-served regions, and build a more connected and equitable transport network for all.
Flavien, seul, au sommet des Pinnacles
Flavien sâĂ©lance Ă lâaube sur les pentes humides du Kauaeranga Kauri Trail, en Nouvelle-ZĂ©lande, dĂ©fiant lâaltitude et les caprices du climat. Le but, atteindre les Pinnacles, ce promontoire abrupt chargĂ© de contes et lĂ©gendes maories. Sur six kilomĂštres et plus de cinq cents mĂštres de dĂ©nivelĂ©, il croise une flore ancienne et des essences rares, entre halocarpus millĂ©naires et mousses gĂ©antes. Chaque pas est une dĂ©couverte, chaque souffle une Ă©motion.
La pluie, la solitude du sommet, le partage d'un bout de - son cher - fromage Ă un bambin, façonnent son histoire. Ses rencontres inattendues parsĂšment son chemin comme des balises dâhumanitĂ© dans un paysage farouche.
