Weekend in Wellington Repeated

Although it was with a different crew... it was much the same. Except for the cocktails... there were a lot more cocktails than last time. The last adventure was posted about here.

Plenty of beer though :-) Off which our arrival started with - beers. Before a trip and tour of Weta Workshops. No photos, but awesome to see how items are made along with the rest of the displays.




Especially the Thunderbirds area!!

The real reason we were going? Well the World War 1 exhibits are coming to a close - The Great War exhibit & Gallipoli: The scale of our war. Unfortunately. It seems such a loss to have the Peter Jackson one just go into storage in a week's time!?!

The Great War Exhibit:







Verdun: before & after








A poignant end to the exhibit...


Colourised Gallipoli photos @ The Great War Exhibit




Plus the stunning and massive Chunuk Bair diorama - 


Our National War Memorial in Wellington, plus Australian, Turkish, British & Belgium memorials -






Gallipoli: The scale of our war














Lest we forget.
