Fluffy family fun! Easter is upon us, with a long weekend offering time for family-filled fun and a menagerie of activities and events sprinkled throughout the Bay of Plenty. But if you want to meet a real menagerie
in our neck of the woods, hop along to The One and a Half Acre Wood in Whakamārama. Owner Dianne Amott has turned her farm of animals into a place where youngsters, just like her 12-year-old
daughter Sophie Amott pictured, can learn about animal care as well as a petting zoo for the public to enjoy. On Easter Saturday, ‘Scruffy’ the rabbit that’s often mistaken for a stuffed toy,
‘Rosie’ the cantankerous goat, a one-eyed chicken, horses, guinea pigs, a friendly water dragon and many more animals will be greeting visitors. Find out more on page 10. Photo / Brydie Thompson
