Around the motu : Mary Argue in Wairarapa

What was once a commercial airport is now struggling to retain users and investment. Mary talks to Kathryn about whether Masterton's Hood Aerodrome is stagnating. She also elaborates on why Wairarapa is a perfect example of how New Zealand runs on volunteers. In the spirit of Volunteer Week Mary highlights the work of the Martinborough Volunteer Fire Brigade's Medical First Response and the Wairarapa Rescue Trust. And Christmas is coming early to Greytown with the month long festival of Christmas kicking off in July.
