THE Hutt 1800-1850

Sandra from Normandale

The Hutt on the Heretaunga river pre 1850.
Bush clad, flooding, stockades, potato growing, Shipping yard on the Waiwhetu, Taita was a village standing alone, County Roads and River Boards, Wainuiomata was isolated, Pencarrow lighthouse was later, Okiwi Bay had an accommodation Inn and then the settlers arrived 1840 onwards.
Researching early Lower Hutt for School kits especially private family stories.

Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens

Karl from Alicetown

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
