The upcoming 60th anniversary of the Kaimai Ranges NAC DC-3 crash, which killed 23 people including Gisborne residents, will probably be the last opportunity for relatives to grieve together, aviation historian Rev. Dr Richard Waugh says. July 3, 1963, was when New Zealand's worst domestic air accident happened. Flight 441 was on a scheduled New Zealand National Airways Corporation (NAC) flight from Auckland to Tauranga and then to Gisborne, Napier and Wellington. The passengers onboard DC-3 Skyliner ZK-AYZ Hastings represented a cross-section of New Zealand society at the time — men and women, Maori and Pakeha, young and old.

Netflix offers thousands of movies and series, but most Australian subscribers will only get access to a fraction of these titles. That's because libraries on the popular streaming service vary from country to country and you can only watch what is available in your geography. The limited availability is largely on account of enforcement of copyrights and royalties, as each country has different laws and regulations around intellectual property and media content. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to give up on a lot of popular content that isn't available in your country.
