The best thing in Wellington...
My name is Lacklan. I am 5 y.o. from Adelaide, Australia. So far the best thing in Wellington was the dangerous goods exhibit at Te Papa and the chocolate milkshake at Fidels on Cuba St. I also liked the bucket fountain on Cuba Street.

The right feel
My partner and I moved up to Wellington from Nelson in January 2012. Our little boy was born here in Oct 2012. Wellington has the right feel to it for us and we enjoy it here. Plenty to do. We love it.

6 months before it sank
Great to come back to Wellington. I traveled here last in Nov 1967. I was on the Wahine mid Nov 1967, 6 months before it sank. Seeing the film today was very moving. Thank you.

Basking in the sun
Hi! This is my story - I saw a seal on the waterfront in Wellington. He was laying about on the rocks, basking in the sun. Yay seal!

The good old days
Hi, I live at Paraparaumu Beach. Wellington has gone from Stone Age to the Digital Age. But, Kirks is still here, and this building, this says something for the good old days! From Pru.
