Peek inside Dunedin's life-sized historic doll's-house
When the Fulton family first arrived in the New Zealand they decided to settle in the country, just outside the bustling, pre-Gold Rush metropolis of 1840s Dunedin.
As their fortunes increased, they decided they would need a city pad, for entertaining important guests and taking part in “the season”, when alliances - both business and personal – would be forged.
In 1865, they commissioned a townhouse in the traditional style, with steep pitched roofs, and oodles of stained-glass depicting their journey from Ireland to New Zealand. Designed by renown Dunedin architect William Clayton, they called it Lisburn House. Read the full story of Lisburn House here.
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.
