Just Karori Sanctuary
    • Ika Rere
      • It’s wonderful to see that the dreams of East by West Ferries have come true, with the launching of the Ika Rere, the brand new electric ferry that will ply its way from Wellington to Eastbourne and back. It is a striking design, with the twin prows of the catamaran almost vertical for chopping through the waves of the harbour, and a vibrant acqua / turquoise colour scheme all over, tying in with the branding of Meridian, electric company / weather forecast sponsor.

    • Super Fry
      • Stephen Fry, actor, author, wit and geek, is on his way to dear sweet Wellington and we are rather excited! He's coming to Aotearoa New Zealand to film some bits for a BBC series he's presenting, Another Chance To See, where he's travelling the world, checking up on endangered species.

    • We've been judged
      • The new Lonely Planet New Zealand guide, released last week caused a bit of controversy through New Zealand. Pointing out our weird and tacky rural icons and urban landmarks such as Auckland's Skytower, which the book says looks like a giant hypodermic needle giving a fix to the heavens and describing Wellington's Stonehenge Aotearoa as weird and tacky were some of the funnier and light hearted parts of the book.The rest of it lavishes praise on the country's beauty, but urges New Zealand's tourism industry to protect its ‘green' status.Most important, though, is that Wellington gets talked up well."If your New Zealand travels thus far have been all bout wilderness and lonesome, one-horse towns, rock into Wellington for a big-city hit. Art-house cinema, hip bars, designer boutiques, live music rooms and late-night coffee shops - it's all in ‘Windy Welly'." The book also tells visitors to check out the local museums sample the good coffee and quality beer and make the most of the wind with a lesson in sailboarding or kiteboarding. It also says to check out rare and endangered NZ wildlife at Wellington's Karori Wildlife Sanctuary.        -Stacey

    • All at sea
      • I'm disappointed by the outcome of the Environment Court decision that rejected the Marine Education Centre at Te Raekaihau Point. I've never been a hard-core supporter of the project, but I was convinced that for the particular vision the proponents had in mind, there was no better site.
