Thoughts on Wellington.
Posted: Mon Feb 4, 2008 8:10 pm
I'm currently in the process of sourcing stuff for a short film I'm making about Wellington and the people who reside within the destrict.

To help me, can you let me know your thoughts, images, likes and dislikes about Wellington by posting on here.

ANY comment that has something to do with Wellington is relevant.

Thanks for your help.

C Johnson

Whenever I think of Wellington, the first thing I remember is walking along the street past a GE Money store, and noticing that someone had taken a giant dump right in the doorway.

Otherwise, Cuba St is rad, all the suits barging around the CDB is lame. I haven't really been to Wellington that much and when I have been it's been for work or for a specific purpose, so I haven't had time to have much of a look around.

One of the harder-to-navigate cities in NZ.

Also, the wind sucked. And the houses look like they're going to fall off the cliffs any second. I found myself missing my hometown.


Laughing And being built directly on a fault-line, they probably will, along with the rest of the country.

Clownie, it sounds like you should've gone to courtney place rather than Cuba street if those two bars were the highlight of your experience.

I didn't go at night, just for dinner in the evening. If I were to go clubbing in Welly I'd check out Valve

Just thought of something else... getting lost and driving around Basin Reserve about five times until we decided which road to go down.

That's one thing that fascinates me. We don't have any hills here, so nothing is perched anywhere. Add to that the fact that a lot of those places were built decades ago... I wouldn't want to live in one!

What's the hill there with the old gun battery called? I remember going up there as a kid.

Wellington has an awesome atmosphere and some real good venues... especially the San Fran Bathhouse

I wouldn't want to live there though, or be there when an big earthquake strikes... but it's a good place to visit

Probably top of Mount Victoria.

Clownie, what could possibly interest you about Valve?

I've never been to Valve, I've just heard that it's a rock bar. And since all the rock bars in Aucks have been closed down I'd enjoy going to one again.

Agent are awesome. Their Drummer is hot.

If "posh" means toilet doors that stay closed, then yeah, it's not posh enough for me.
