Huge congratulations to Paula Barrington on her entry “Eastbourne! My, My!”
Paula has captured the heart, humour, and rhythm of our seaside town in a song that’s as catchy as it is clever. Her lyrics shine with energy and wit — a playful anthem that celebrates Eastbourne’s quirks while getting stuck in your head from the very first line. “Eastbourne! My, My!” isn’t just a song, it’s a love letter to the bays, delivered with style and sparkle.
This stand-out track is now part of Eastbourne Unplugged 2025 — and it sets the bar high.

We're taking the bus!
The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.
Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.
It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.
It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.
With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?
Poll: Tightening the belt at the pump ... How are you pivoting? 🚌🚲🏠
Between the headlines about the Strait of Hormuz and the creeping costs at our local stations, the "fuel crisis" has moved from the news to our wallets.
A recent opinion piece in The Post suggested that Wellington Councils should be shifting our public facilities to renewable energy ASAP to keep our rates from being vulnerable to these global fuel hikes. It’s a big conversation for the city, but what about your daily commute?
