This is essentially a Wellingtonian’s blog, written by a former journalist of 20 years’ experience.
That means this blog has many articles about Wellington, and many about or critical of the media, as well as about things that interest me, like trolley buses, aircraft and current affairs.
Poneke is the Maori transliteration of Port Nicholson, which was the original name the British settlers gave to Wellington. The actual Maori name for the area that today is New Zealand’s capital is Te Whanganui-a-Tara, or the Great Harbour of Tara, a reference to a chief named Tara, said to have visited the area 800 years ago.
