Raising the flag for the robins - November 10th

Lots of people have worked to save the black robin from extinction over the last seventy years and the support just keeps coming. Earlier this year, schools around New Zealand were given the opportunity to design a flag to be flown here on Rangatira, paying tribute to this little bird’s struggle for survival. I would just like to say again Congratulations!!!! to Theo Fowler of Diamond Harbour School on Banks Peninsula, Christchurch for his winning flag design!!! Theo, to let you know, your flag was carried as precious cargo to the island. More information about Theo's design can be found on the University of Canterbury's Science Outreach website.
