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
- The Wellingtonista
- Or, how far can you travel on a Flamingo before it dies on you? A Pōneke Easter Experiment. Do not try this at home. It’s not wholly dangerous, but it is a little foolhardy. Mostly it’s just time consuming and will make your legs ache. I’ve been scooting ever since I was a kid. I […]

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, […]

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.
