I've just discovered a blog about Wellington, Wellingtonsta. A fine town, still my spiritual home, particularly when the weather's good (which sadly isn't all that often). Nevertheless, there's more to a place than its barometric reading! Great coffee (Masi), great bookshops (Unity), record shops (Slow Boat) and the ever present prospect of getting into a drunken argument with Winston Peters...
Included are some shots of Wellington including an old photo from the Millard Stand at Athletic Park... anyone remember the last test match played there, NZ beat Australia 43 - 6, in atrocious conditions (not including fog however).

You've been very quiet lately...
Yes, parental demands come. I will be advising the household noise machine of the impact on my burgeoning blogging career...
More to come soon - there's drafts ready to post!
Flickr's got some great shots of Wellington. Some of the night-time on the harbour shots are simply gorgeous. There are some fantastic shots of pohutukawa blossoms too (for those so inclined). I've got some Flickr action going (not public).
Pohutukawa in the Wellington Summer - only equalled by Kowhai in Spring (there used to be some juvenille trees on Aro St that were simply beautiful).
Funnily enough, there's actually a reasonable number of Pohutukawa in Sydney - particularly in Balmain and Bondi. I'd thought they were endemic to NZ.
