I work as a volunteer in Zealandia, an urban wildlife sanctuary in the heart of Wellington, the 'coolest little capital' in the world. Here you can follow some of the things that I do, such as nest monitoring, feeding and talking about one of the rarest birds in the world or showing visitors the wonders of this amazing little valley.
When not in Zealandia I spend a large part of my time enjoying the wonderful outdoor environment Wellington has to offer. Biking, running, roller -blading, swimming and dragon-boat racing are some of the pleasures to be had amongst the tree clad hills, the winding roads and the ever changing harbour.
Living in Te Upoko O te Ika (the Maori name for Wellington meaning The Head of the Fish) is never boring with its wild climate and rugged terrain. I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I will enjoy describing this amazing place and its animals to you.

Dr Grordbort's Exceptional Exhibition

In Wellington today I chanced upon  Dr Grordbort's Exceptional Exhibition at the bottom of Cuba St. For some unknown reason I am quite drawn to Steam Punk and its flights of fancy. I spent an hour wandering around the various sculptures and drawings. Victorians, aliens, ray guns all mixed up together. Definitely weird!! Its here until January 26, then off to Dubai and the USA.

It is the brainchild of Weta Workshop artist and designer Greg Broadmore, and more to the point, its free!
