• • Waitangi

    • 7 Feb 2009
    • Eye of the Fish
    • Around 8 years ago, the city of Wellington was in a turmoil. The aged forces of Waterfront Watch, an elderly bunch of Wellingtonians with time on their hands, decided to take on the Wellington City Council over their proposals for the waterfront land. The public was stirred up into a paroxysm of hatred for Variation 17 - what were portrayed as proposals by the WCC to allow building all over the waterfront. Waterfront Watch were largely successful, forcing the hand of the Council to reduce the scope of their ambitions, and lobbying hard for the creation of what is now Waitangi Park. And well done too - the park is great. But now there’s another proposal on the waterfront.

• • Passchendaele: The Belgians Have Not Forgotten

    • 15 Jul 2009
    • Passchendaele: The Belgians Have Not Forgotten Venue: ANZAC Hall Featherston Date: 17 July – 16 August Hours: 10am – 4pm daily This exhibition focuses on how the memories of New Zealand still live on in Flanders today, 90 years after the devastating conflict that cost so many young kiwi lives. These memories are brought to life through images, movies and artefacts. New Zealand lost more men during the 100 days of fighting than any other commonwealth country - 845 on one day alone during the First Battle of Passchendaele, 12 October, 1917. The people of Flanders and, more widely, the people of Belgium have never forgotten this sacrifice, which is commemorated in this very special exhibition.

• • Flash mob, flashed up

    • 3 May 2011
    • The Wellingtonista
    • The park in Courtenay Place sees a lot of action during the day – random interpretive dances, fucking annoying people with megaphones who are apparently trying to recruit people to their gym (but I’m sure they must have been hired by the competition because there’s no way anyone who works on Courtenay Place would want to give their money to such loud annoying dickheads), people playing the drums or a piano on a truck – the list goes on. Most of the time, we snap a quick photo and tweet about it. Today, however, we have a video of a Bollywood-style flashmob who were promoting a show we didn’t cover (oopsie!). But it’s better with the remixed soundtrack. Enjoy.

    Community and plants the stars of a great Open Day

    • Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush Trust
    • Community and plants were the obvious themes at the annual Ōtari Open Day, on September 14. Plant sales were hugely popular – this was the first Open Day that all the plants on sale were propagated from the Ōtari collections in the Trust’s own nursery, thanks to the huge efforts of Jane Humble, Lynley Trower and other volunteers, supported by Ōtari garden staff. Ōtari gardeners and expert Behind the scenes, Ōtari Nursery tour Behind the scenes, Ōtari Nursery tour botanists were on hand to advise those keen to spread the native plant love into their home gardens. Others took the chance for a tour of the special plants being raised in the Ōtari Nursery.

    • A controversial decision by Wellington Soccer to close the home of football, resulted in a late ground and time change to 12.30 at McAllister Park. The guys turned up, still obviously miffed by this disappointment. It is every young Karori players dream to run out onto on the No.1 turf in the 2.30 time slot when the whole community can be heard cheering on the black and whites from the welcoming pavilion balcony setting.

    • t's not easy to keep your balance on a trolley bus if you are wearing vertiginous high heels or are weighed down with shopping. It can feel like surfing rather than just riding the bus. But spare a thought for those whose seatlessness is more than just an inconvenience. In recent months, this Wellingtonista has noticed her protruding baby bump doesn't get her a coveted seat on a packed peak hour bus.
