Does anyone know where I can buy door handles that look like this, or thereabouts? They don't have to be white, silver or black would work too. They're around 325mm long. I've searched high and low with no luck, potentially I'm not using the correct terminology.

This is especially of note to Brooklynites as the councils Southern Landfill currently hosts (to be moved by 2026) the sewage systems sewage sludge dewatering plant (SDWP). Essentially the processed sludge is buried at the council landfill. Hence the stench we (and other southern suburbs) are subjected to.
The sooner the new facility in Moa Point is completed, the sooner the Southern Landfill can "mothball"/close the current SDWP, and the fresher our air will be...

Many of those who died were woman and children, as their lifeboats capsized in the wild sea.
Although the Captain was heavily criticised, it is still not clear what the ship hit nor where, as the wreck of the Penguin has never been located.
The tragedy stunned Wellington and a day of mourning was called for 16 February. The city came to a standstill as many of those who died were brought up to Karori Cemetery for burial in a long procession of cabs and lorries.
To commemorate this tragedy the Friends will be undertaking a guided tour of most of the Penguin graves on Sunday 9th February. The tour will commence at 1pm at the Shelter which is located in the centre of Karori Cemetery and will run for up to two hours starting with a short presentation.
The tour is $10 per person (plus non-refundable booking fee). Children under 12 are free. Book your ticket on our ticketing website:
