Dinosaurs resuscitated or will Prebble and McCarten show that it is not the strongest who survive...
- Iona Pannett
- but the most adaptable? A good editorial from The Dominion Post today. Fascinating that Act and Labour have brought these two campaigners back. Will they be able to adapt to MMPs of the 2010s or do both parties need to do a better job at cultivating new talent. Will be watching closely.

Review: Miss Bronte
- The Wellingtonista
- As we walk into the theatre a woman sits on stage frantically writing in a tiny book. She wears a plain blue dress made out of different patterned fabrics. Her hair is parted in the middle and tightly pulled back. Every so often she pauses, looks into the distance, then scribbles some more. The furniture […] The post Review: Miss Bronte appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

Local woman saves adventurous tuatara
- Zealandia
- Lorna Borrett was startled to find the tuatara while walking her dog Dobby. She wasn’t sure what it was and phoned her partner Jacob Rosevear. ”I only knew of tuatara through the brand of beer, which Jacob drinks.” “It was kind of a cool experience – there can’t be that many people in the world that have come across a tuatara in the wild,” Ms Borrett said. Lorna immediately alerted Zealandia staff who were quick to the scene. The tuatara was taken to Wellington Zoo’s The Nest Te Kōhanga where it was assessed and admitted for rehabilitation.

Unique to Island Bay, local and visiting Clergy venture out into the Bay to bless the fishing boats after they've circled around Tapu te Ranga Island.

Vegetate excavated bare rock faces around the Mount Victoria Summit

- Evergreen creepers with their clinging pads are needed to beautify the bare rock faces around the Mount Victoria Summit. They'd be shallow rooting so as not to crack and dislodge the rock face. Irrigation would be needed.

‘Nothing to be Done’ but laugh
- The Wellingtonista
- Comedian Luwita Hana Randhawa does look a little serious below. She looks like someone who probably doesn’t take a lot of nonsense. Someone who would handle a heckler with a dry, sassy quip that would leave everyone wishing they’d thought of such a line, because everyone has those “If only I’d said that” moments. I […] The post ‘Nothing to be Done’ but laugh appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

In education, everyone deserves a chance

Tuatara ambassadors are ready for the spotlight!
- Zealandia
- The tuatara is an ancient reptile with three eyes and no penis. Its ancestors once walked with dinosaurs and it is often called a “living fossil”. We call it a “living treasure”. These strange features are just a few reasons why Zealandia is celebrating this unique species during Tuatara February. By training two ambassador animals to help explain their strange natural history, visitors can get up close and personal or name one of these special creatures. After being brought to Zealandia from Southland Museum, the two tuatara have been in training to help them feel more at ease in human company and comfortable being handled.
