We’re asking visitors to write and leave love letters to Wellington in the Te Upoko o te Ika a Māui exhibition at the Museum of Wellington City & Sea. The exhibition features people's stories and passion about the greater Wellington region. One letter per day is selected to add to this blog. We welcome and encourage conversation and feedback to each letter.
Love Letters to Wellington

Tunnel tooting
Thirty days hath September, thirty things we remember ... (#5 of 30)
Driving through Mount Victoria Tunnel with my girsl we toot a cliched rhythm and wait for a reply. The local legend about why people toot is tied to the murder of 17 year old Phylis at the hands of her boyfriend, a labourer working on the tunnel. I think Wellingtonians are either 'tooters' or 'non-tooters'. Which are you? (Kim, Marketing Manager)
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.
