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.

Te Marua loot
Thirty days hath September, thirty things we remember … (#26 of 30)
Growing up in Te Marua, there were twon ways to make money - diving for golf balls in the river or visiting the Speedway the morning after stock car races. I wasn't allowed to do either, but I can still remember the loot the other kids had and especially the watches and jewellery they brought to school on Mondays.
Stay tuned for our daily stories throughout Wellington’s Heritage Month 2013 - where staff and volunteers share one of their favourite stories of the Wellington Region.
