We walked to Newton's Waterfall #Akaroa. Noticed some prickly foliage. Is that #Ongaonga? We had a conversation like the #Friends episode about the condoms.
"If that's ongaonga they should put up a sign!"
Turns out they do (much like the Friends episode "they should put that on the packet!" "They do!") and we hadn't seen it.
For non Kiwis: ongaonga is also called vicious nettle, quite poisonous but fairly unusual, probably a good thing.
