Friends of Karori Cemetery: Wellington Anniversary Weekend Tours
Wellington Anniversary Weekend Tours
The Wellington Provincial Centennial Building at Petone is the result of a 1930's building programme to mark the 100th centenary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.
The building was originally designed with a 'Hall of Memories' and mens and womens bathing changing rooms.
In 1977 it was converted to the Petone Settlers' Museum. The building underwent a major refurbishment in 2016.
So why not make a weekend of it? Visit the Musuem and then come on one of our tours to hear about some more about the early Wellingtonians on Monday 23rd January:
- City Builders 10:30am
- Catholics Tales 11:00am
Tickets are $10 per person, children under 12 are free.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

Combining biking with bus travel
Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
Open mic for writers, musicians and audience
This is going to be a fun event. Come along and perform, or be an audience member and support your local writers and musicians, and the Karori Taphouse. All welcome!
