A New Zealand homeowner whose house was smashed by a car-sized boulder in an earthquake that devastated the country’s second-largest city last month has sold the rock in an online auction for more than 60,000 New Zealand dollars.

THE cold, calm weather has given pike anglers a chance to tackle a number of lakes, and there were some great fish taken.

Two glass vials purportedly containing the ghosts of two dead people sold for 2,830 New Zealand dollars (€1,455) at an auction.

The white Zimbabwean farmer murdered by a mob was allegedly targeted 16 months ago by the sister of Robert Mugabe - who wanted his house for herself.
