Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Marlborough green gecko, also known as the manuka gecko, is a small species of gecko endemic to New Zealand. It grows to a maximum of 70mm, and is green, with some individuals displaying gold markings. The underside of the gecko is a lighter green in females, and silvery in males. The holotype is in the collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
In 2012 the Department of Conservation classified the Marlborough gecko as At Risk under the New Zealand Threat Classification System. It was judged as meeting the criteria for At Risk threat status as a result of it having a low to high ongoing or predicted decline. This gecko is also regarded as being Conservation Dependent.

The Smokai is a New Zealand brand of smoker that you attach to whatever box you have. I have mine on the side of a hooded bar-b-que. It runs off an aquarium pump and the fuel in this case is manuka sawdust. I mainly use it for smoking fish.

Leptospermum Scoparium ( Number 1 New Zealand manuka honey plant) ?
I caught cold twice in December.
I am finally feeling better and I will catch up soon.
I hope you had a better holiday season than mine!
The Manuka bushes at the Pauatahanui Wildlife Reserve are flowering well and attracting insects to feed on nectar. This ID of the bug may be uncertain.
Is this a leptospermum or Australian Manuka, Shining Tea Tree? I have been told it is not.
It could also be a leptospermum petersonii, Lemon tea tree
Her paws are a bit damaged by overgrown nails. We were advised to rub manuka honey to her paws.
Although today is not "Happy Caturday" for her, if cats could talk, TOTO would like to speak to me, "It is not my fault and you have not taken care of me properly!" She is right.

One of the popular short walks near Takaka is the Te Waikoropupū Springs, with water of amazing clarity.

"Te Waikoropupū Springs contain some of the clearest water ever measured, coming second only to Lake Rotomairewhenua (Blue Lake) in the Nelson Lakes National Park.
As the largest freshwater springs in New Zealand, and the largest coldwater springs in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s easy to see why people travel from near and far to witness the unrivalled beauty of Te Waikoropupū."
An easy, flat 20-minute walk under the canopy of mānuka and kanuka takes you across boardwalks and over bridges to a viewing platform overlooking the crystal clear waters of Te Waikoropupū. Looping back around through the forest and ferns, you can take the longer route to return via Fish Creek or head straight back to the carpark."
