Review: Messy
- The Wellingtonista
- Reviewed by George Niven Stepping into the Dome stage at Bats on Tuesday night felt almost like intruding. Taking my seat I felt I was brushing past Freya, the character played by writer Tara Weston-Webb, as she sat cross-legged on the floor of her room fastidiously painting brightly coloured icons in a small grid.

Review: The Nutcracker
- The Wellingtonista
- The Nutcracker’s always been one of ‘the ballets’ I’ve heard about but never seen. Learning about it via reading the The Baby-Sitters Club books as a kid and growing up dancing myself, I’ve always wanted to get the chance to experience it, and finally, thanks to this year’s Royal New Zealand Ballet Kiwi twist on […]

Review: Mr Halloween Bachelor

It’s PopRox’s Mr Halloween Bachelor at the Hannah Playhouse, a triumphant sequel to last year’s Ms Christmas Bachelorette, and the cast (and some of the audience) are fully costumed for a night of flirty frivolity […]

Feedback on buses from the campaign trail
- Sarah Free
- Talking to bus patrons over the last few weeks, I’ve had some interesting feedback. The bus system is generally working well, but there are still suggestions for adjustments and improvements. Island Bay and Johnsonville residents told me that the #1 route seems to get a lot of delays. Miramar residents told me the buses are […]

More Affordable Bus Fares for Wellington City?
- Sarah Free
- Fare Zone boundaries in Wellington City are quite small, so our bus users can easily pay two or three zones to travel a relatively short distance! As seen from this schematic, you would get a lot further for your one, two or three zones if you were in the Hutt Valley or Porirua. I would […]

Making a Difference, 12 Years On…

Some “Thanks” to lots of people really

- As I am now standing for the Regional Council, it’s timely to reflect on my time at the City Council. Leaving after 12 years is not without a sense of sadness, but it’s also an opportunity to reflect on what’s been achieved. I’ll cover some achievements I’m most proud of in a subsequent post. But […]

Elections 2025
- Sarah Free
- Newsflash, After much consideration, I’ve decided to run for the Regional Council in this October 2025 election. Wellington needs a strong champion to get value for our regional rates dollars, achieve greater transparency on who pays and who benefits- and to ensure we keep a world-class affordable, convenient and comprehensive bus network. Following the 2018 […]

Review: Grifted & Talented
- The Wellingtonista
- Reviewed by Bethany Miller Firstly, what a brilliant premise for a comedy game show. Being one of those “gifted” kids, I was taken by the name from the start – the nostalgia of a school programme for unconventional thinkers that I realise now were probably all the oddballs and undiagnosed neurospicy types. Honestly, a lot […]

Ten Years in Pōneke Part Four – Throwing Down the Escooter Gauntlet

Ten Years in Pōneke – Part Three (AN EGG HUNT RETROSPECTIVE)
- The Wellingtonista
- One of the first things that happened when I moved to Pōneke in 2015 was the Big Egg Hunt. From March to April 2015 100 giant eggs were hidden around Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch, with the eggs being auctioned off to fundraise for Starship at the end of the quest. I love a little quest, […]

Our aim is to further discourse on Wellington’s urban environment, as well to as report on the other aspects of life in the capital.

T3 Track Blog
- T3 track or Technical Torture Trail will link the top of Vertigo and the top of Trickle Falls. The track will be two-way and is designed to be grade 5 techical downhill and a grade 5-6 technical uphill. The track will contain between 16 and 18 manmade and natural obstacles along the way. The track will hopefully be something that people can hone their skills on and attack with the attitude of "I'll clear it this time"
