    A trip to the Empire above Pae Kawakawa

    • 28 Sep 2024
    • Wellington Scoop
    • Last Sunday my family found ourselves unexpectedly home early from a class noho marae. So we ended up doing a cycling trip to the Empire Cinema in Island Bay to see Encanto Reo Māori. Because the cycleway connection in Berhampore is only half built, we took a short-cut from our home in Berhampore to get to the Parade. The kids were very keen, as they always are, to get their “bikes on the road.” These streets from Adelaide Road in Berhampore to the Parade in Island Bay, Tapu te Ranga, are another group of city streets built above waterways. The Pae Kawakawa stream starts near Macalister Park and runs along these roads with feeder streams in Mornington and Southgate as well.

The band quickly amassed a cult following and began to draw […]

    • 27 Jan 2022

    • Following a memorable 1921 season, particularly on the representative front with Wellington ending the year with the Ranfurly Shield locked away and the All Blacks hosting the Springboks in their inaugural series, 1922 failed to reach the same lofty heights.
