Old Lower Hutt 1800-1850
Local history in local schools.
What do you know about Lower Hutt or THE HUTT as it was known.
1800-1850 The Hutt was accepting settlers into Port Nicholson and many landed on the flat land at Petone beach. Flooding caused them to move slowly up the valley. What did they think after sailing for months to arrive here and find NOTHING, no houses, no shops, nothing.
Maori grew potatoes, Settlers brought seeds, pre fab homes and lots of wet washing.
Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
