D-Day for the Basin
- Save the Basin Reserve!
- Today is likely to be a day of infamy for the Basin Reserve. The NZ Transport Agency is announcing the funding priorities for the Wellington region, and the Basin Reserve flyover is likely to remain as the number two priority, despite 89% of submitters being opposed to such a high priority for such a pointless project.

A belated and shamefully unremarked 60th birthday greeting to Wellington’s darkest secret, its trolley buses
- Poneke
- The 40th anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin making the first Moon landing reminded me I’d completely overlooked another anniversary as close to my heart as that long ago great leap for mankind.

Fishing the Basin
- Eye of the Fish
- The Wellington Civic Trust is holding a Seminar this coming weekend on “Round About the Basin“, with a grand line-up of speakers and presentations so that everyone can have their say.
