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.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
