Summer dancing outside Old Government Buildings, Wellington
An amended version of Corn Rigs (two times only) was the first dance on the programme for the second night of 2019's dancing on the lawn in Wellington. To limber up gently on a hot summer evening, some chose to walk the steps rather than dance.
Again, former New Zealand Prime Minister Peter Fraser (1884 - 1950) looked on from the sidelines. Mr Fraser was Scottish by birth.

Keeping Time at Government Buildings
Department of Conservation Historic Ranger, Paulette Wallace, takes you for a behind the scenes look at the 1876 turret clock, a working feature of New Zealand's old wooden Government Buildings in Wellington.
Parakeets kākārikis in the Gardens at Old Government House in Auckland
The historic mansion sits at the northern end of the City Campus, between Princes Street and Symonds Street. Old Government House (1856), corner of Princes Street and Waterloo Quadrant, was the first mansion of its kind built in New Zealand. Classical in style with much of the timber façade cut to resemble stone, it was the seat of government until 1865 when the capital was moved to Wellington.
The building, the second Government House built in Auckland, was designed by William Mason, and was completed in 1856 as one of the measures taken by Auckland to retain its status as New Zealand's capital. However, the house was used only sporadically after the seat of government was moved to Wellington in 1865.
For the next century it was Auckland's vice-regal residence. Royalty stayed there six times and Queen Elizabeth II broadcast her Christmas speech to the Commonwealth from upstairs in 1953. Lilibet also planted the rimu tree in the gardens.
Since being transferred to the University in 1969, the house has been the Staff Common Room Club. It contains a Council reception suite, flats for visiting academics, rooms for the Federation of Graduate Women and a lecture theatre.
Some of the trees in the grounds match Old Government House for antiquity. Two oaks at the north western corner were probably grown from acorns brought from the Great Forest at Windsor and the Royal Oak at Boscobel, Shropshire, where Charles II hid after the battle of Worcester in 1651. The big coral tree and the Norfolk pine at the southern edge of the lawn are said to have been planted by Sir George Grey during his second term as governor (1861-1867).
New Zealand's fauna is interesting because it includes parrots and parakeets which are normally associated with the world's tropical regions. Kākāriki are beautiful forest birds. There are five main species of kākāriki: yellow-crowned parakeet, orange-fronted parakeet, red-crowned parakeet, Forbes' parakeet and Antipodes Island parakeet.

old st paul's cathedral wellington
Old St. Paul's is a historic site, Wellington landmark and popular wedding and event venue in the heart of Wellington, New Zealand. The building was used as a cathedral in the Diocese of Wellington of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia between 1866-1964. It is an example of 19th-century Gothic Revival architecture adapted to colonial conditions and materials. It is at 34 Mulgrave Street, Thorndon, Wellington, New Zealand, close to the New Zealand Parliament.
The site of the church was purchased by Bishop Selwyn in 1845 and added to by Governor Grey in 1853,[1] at which time it was on a prominent cliff top overlooking Wellington harbour.[2] Agreement to build the church was reached by 1861[2] and the Reverend Frederick Thatcher, then vicar of St. Paul's, Thorndon, was engaged as the architect.
The foundation stone was laid by Governor Grey on 21 August 1865.[3] The building work was executed by John McLaggan and a team of eight carpenters,[4] and the church was consecrated by Bishop Abraham on 6 June 1866.[5]
Soon after the church opened, it became apparent that it was unstable in high winds, and so the south transept, designed by Christian Julius Toxward, was added in 1868.[6] Later additions included the north transept and north-aisle extension, also by Toxward, in 1874; the moving of the chancel five metres to the east and the addition of minor north and south transepts to the design of George Fannin in 1876; the choir vestry in 1882, probably designed by Toxward; and extension of the baptistry as designed by Frederick de Jersey Clere in 1891.[6] Thatcher’s original wooden shingle roof was replaced with corrugated iron in 1895, and subsequently with Welsh slates in 1924.[7]
In 1964 the Diocese of Wellington moved to the new St Paul's Cathedral nearby. After a significant battle to prevent its demolition, Old St. Paul's was purchased by the New Zealand Government in 1967, and subsequently restored by the Ministry of Works under the guidance of Peter Sheppard.[8]
Old St. Paul's is now managed by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga.[1] While no longer a parish church, it remains consecrated, and is a popular venue for weddings, funerals and other services.
It is constructed from New Zealand native timbers, with stunning stained glass windows. The interior has been likened to the upturned hull of an Elizabethan galleon, with exposed curving rimu trusses and kauri roof sarking.
Nave in Old St. Paul's
The flags displayed in the nave include the ensigns of the Royal Navy, the New Zealand Merchant Navy and the United States Marine Corps (second division), which was stationed in Wellington during World War II.[1] The church retains close links with the New Zealand Defence Force.
Some of the walls and columns of Old St. Paul's are decorated with memorial plaques, including many dedicated to those who fought and died in World War I. There is a plaque in memory of Wellington historian J.C. Beaglehole, most famous for his biography of explorer James Cook, but who also played a significant role in the fight to save Old St. Paul's from demolition

I FOUND THE LAST AIR NEW ZEALAND DC-10 | HAVANA CUBA
I'm on a special mission on behalf of the Bring Our Birds Home campaign, which is trying to repatriate all of the last remaining aircraft from the Air New Zealand fleet.
The DC-10 ZK-NZS is now sitting at Havana International Airport. It first flew for Air New Zealand, brand new, back in 1976.
Bring Our Birds Home wants to dismantle, and return this DC-10 to Wanaka in New Zealand, where they intend building a museum to house it, along with the last National Airways Corporation Boeing 737, an Air New Zealand DC-8, a Lockheed Electra and a Boeing 747.
Being an aviation enthusiast and a big supporter of the Bring Our Birds Home campaign, I offered to try and get as close to the Big 10 as I could, while on a trip to Cuba. Stepping on board would have been amazing - but as you can see we got close.
The Bring Our Birds Home team are now negotiating with the Cuban Government to buy this DC-10 and I was happy to help open a few doors, in that regard, and get some footage of this beautiful aircraft.
