Porcupine fish on Petone foreshore
- Te Papa's blog
- I had a call yesterday from Wellington's Dominion Post newspaper needing an expert to identify some fish found washed up on the Petone foreshore. Andrew Stewart, Te Papa's fishes collection manager, identified them as porcupine fish.

Pohutukawa flowering – is it Christmas already?
- Te Papa's blog
- No, it is not Christmas already. (Fortunately the year hasn’t passed by that quickly.) But this pohutukawa on Wellington’s waterfront, opposite Frank Kitts Park, seems to think so. It has been spluttering into flower over the last few weeks.
