A trip to the Empire above Pae Kawakawa
- 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.

Ain't no mountain high enough for college enviro-club
- Wellington City Council
- With the school located on the city-side of Mount Victoria, students could take the shorter but narrow, noisy and fume-filled shared path through Mt Victoria tunnel, or navigate an unmaintained, steep track over the hill, scale the 2metre-high fence at the bottom, and hopefully get to school in one piece and on time. The college’s enviro-club members wanted a way for students from the eastern suburbs to get to school that was pleasant, safe, convenient, and good for the environment. Lucy and Maya, two enviro-club leaders, say: “We often walked over an extremely steep track which was completely impossible to bike up. We wanted to make it more accessible for people to bike and walk to our school so they could have a nice commute through the bush, instead of the fume-filled tunnel.”

Ruahine Corner – Ruahine Forest Park
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club

History Hangar
