W*pwops Hops have taken over. Promising a good Hop crop this year. The vines at the top end took a flood beating but they will flower too. 300 metres of safe walkways are now complete and you can visit us even in a flood. A Big thanks to Bjørn Brattebø, Eva, Jeff Bryan, Jamie Hughes, Lyle Haste , and Jim Trotter, Pre Christmas we got that walkway done.

New walkways have gone in at The W*pwops Wetland Park, making your exploration of the area that much easier.
Stop in with the little ones, by yourself or with your dog for a walk around the wetland park. With several picnic areas and viewing points it's the ideal place to stretch your legs.

When did you last visit the W*pwops Wetland park? Look at the size of the Eels, this image was captured yesterday.

Stop into New Zealand Natural Clothing in Norsewood and pop out the back to see the friendly Eels while you visit.

A lovely message from the Local Gardening group that visited on Thursday.
"Thank you, we were amazed at how everything has grown since we were last there. Loved the eels and think you have all created an area to be so proud of"
It has grown somewhat and we are working hard on making the walkways and gardens a more pleasurable experience, raised walkways will reduce the flood damage we repair often. Thanks to Eva and Bjorn for all of the work and for the donations left to help towards the cost :)

The W*pW*ps wild hops are almost done so Brewers come and get some! The last flood rocked the Northern crop a bit but they may have a unique silty flavour ;) There are still plenty in the southern part of the wetland help yourselves!

The ideal spot for a picnic, a place to stretch your legs or stay overnight in one of the FREE self contained camper spots.

Do you remember a while back we posted about our W*p W*ps hops? We would love to hear from people who came and got hops to create their custom beer.

Featured is Kyle's beer made in 2019 from W*p W*ps Hops. Kyle had fun creating this one with friends in Germany - Hamburg when studying there. From what we tasted, it was pretty darn good! 🍻

We look forward to hearing from you about past and future brews.
