Best things-to-do in Wellington post. Ever.

Tom puts us to shame. He real­ly does.

You know you’re from…

Jim­my Jan­gles has pro­duced a handy guide to know­ing which part the Greater Welling­ton region you’re from… You know you’re from Welling­ton when… You know you’re from The Hutt when… You know you’re from Porirua when… Par­tic­u­lar­ly like the Welling­ton trait of being able to “…detect 27 dif­fer­ent shades of black suit.” UPDATE!

I feel like top­ping myself after five mintues there.” [And here’s quite a good dis­cus­sion on it on NatRad from this morn­ing.] The Vol­vo Ocean Race yachts should be sail­ing into town […]

Earth­quake weath­er? Wild Land takes a quick look at the rel­a­tive­ly ten­u­ous links between hot still days and the increased chance of a decent shake. (And some analy­sis of that big shake we had last week from the same source, here). Near­ly count­ing as a force of nature with­in the Welling­ton urban envi­ron­ment, the Stage­coach […]
