Goose and highland bull living together for 10 years

Gisborne's weirdest couple have been together for 10 years. The goose and the bull “Hamish” have been together since January 2001. The lodge's owner and "head gardener", Kees Weytmans, said all the animals used to be in the same area - there were geese, Highland cattle, 10 emus, a pig, 10 deer and two cattle beasts.

Before Hamish was born there was a massive fight between the animals and the gooses mate was killed. They guessed it was one of the emus who did it. The goose was not herself for a few days after the incident. Then 2 weeks later Hamish was born and people remember the goose lying down in the paw of the calf and they have been friends every since.

"We think that the love is from the goose to Hamish rather than the other way around. We reckon the goose is a girl, but we have no idea," he said. The goose is Hamish’s shadow and is very jealous over him. Geese are among the birds that stay together for life as well as paradise ducks, pigeons, swans, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks and penguins.

Massive tree falls across road

Good morning room 17.

On Friday, Feb 11, a massive 40m tree crashed across Grahams Road which is just a couple of streets over from Jellie Park. One man was extremely lucky because the tree only clipped the boot of his car. When the colossal tree fell, it also knocked down a carport and broke windows of a house.

The council had to cordon off the road while the tree was cut up into smaller pieces with chainsaws. The wood was then removed to allow the road to be reopened. I wonder who got all the firewood?

The driver of the damaged car stopped to buy a lotto ticket on the way home – it was obviously his lucky day.

My holiday

In the school holidays I went to Australia with my mum and my brother. It was really really fun because we went to all the theme parks. They were really exciting and the most exciting one was movie world because it had really cool bumper carts. I didn't get to drive it much because my brother decided he wanted to drive. We went to Movie World two times because my brother wanted to go on the dodgem carts again. We also went to Sea World two times. I liked going on the climbing wall, it was good fun. Dream World was really cool because you could go on a ride called Sponge Bob Fly Pants. It was so cool because you just go round and round and round and round and get really dizzy! The bullpit thee was great too. It has bulls in it
