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...

Friends of Karori Cemetery: S.S. Penguin Tour

On the 12 February 1909, the SS Penguin sank in Cook Strait in a raging southerly storm with the loss of 72 lives, one of the worst maritime disasters in NZ history. Many of those who died were woman and children, as their lifeboats capsized in the wild sea.

On the 12 February 1909, the SS Penguin sank in Cook Strait in a raging southerly storm with the loss of 72 lives, one of the worst maritime disasters in NZ history. 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:

We operate as a drop-in playgroup so you can come at whatever time suits your child. A great chance to meet other parents and caregivers over a coffee and some delicious nibbles. Depending on numbers we could have a music session around 10.30. We ask for a Koha to cover the refreshments, and hall operating expenses.
Note: our next SPACE course for new parents and their babies starts the following day 5th February.
