New book stand (featuring “Atlas of the New Zealand Wars, Volume 1”)


Fully Winter! ❄️


Morning walk


Hapua Street Anzac history

Local ANZAC history - a selection of write-ups of the stories of those from a small selection of Hataitai streets who participated in the world wars. Placed in the Hapua St bus stop.

A brilliant humanisation of the impact of war on a local community.

Red morning


Ode to a Lost Pal

You were left outside
All alone
The party’s over
And you are left behind
They’ve all moved on
Now you are an empty vessel
A memory of a night
Abandoned on the stairs

 


The pace and stamina of experience vs the exuberance and exhaustion of youth ;-)
