Casting a watchful eye


Thirty days hath September, thirty things we remember ... (#10 of 30)

I spent many a summer out at Castlepoint when I was young with family and friends. I've seen the place change and grow (and erode) over time, but one thing has always stayed the same - the watchful eye of the lighthouse. Climbing the craggy path up to the historic lighthouse, then peering over the other side of the ridge has always been a treat, especially in all the varying weather conditions. I think back to those poor souls operating the lighthouse in times past and being so exposed to the elements. You could never fault the view though! (Brent, Programmes Developer).

Stay tuned for our daily memory posts throughout Wellington's Heritage Month 2013 - where staff and volunteers share one of their favourite stories of the Wellington Region.
