Wellington

Search Wellington (www.wellington.gen.nz)

Probably the most comprehensive and informative starting point for Wellington information.

W4 (www.wellington.net.nz)

Wellington World Wide Web: prettier and more commercial than Search Wellington.

Wellington City Council (www.wcc.govt.nz)

The Wellington City Council's official web site. Among other gems, it includes a brief history of Wellington and the Heritage Building Inventory (points off for not including Vicino).

The Package (www.thepackage.co.nz)

An "urban survival kit", apparently. A what's on guide, with an emphasis upon dance music and alt rock (i.e. it doesn't tell you when Waterside are on at Molly's).

Campaign for a Better City (better.wellington.net.nz)

Leading the fight against the Te Aro motorway.

Deluxe Cinemas (www.deluxe.co.nz)

The Embassy. Paramount. 'Nuff said.

Furniture

B&B Italia (www.bebitalia.it/prodotti.htm)

If Jane wins Lotto...

Freedom Furniture (www.freedom.com.au)

A little more realistic. Their Design Modern section, in particular, has some reasonable imitations of the sort of minimalist style that we admire.

Corso De' Fiori (www.corso.com)

Some of this stuff is also quite reasonably priced. We like the fact that the Città range in particular is available in bits and pieces: you can buy table tops and legs separately, and mix and match.

Personal

The Wilbert Zone (homepages.voyager.co.nz/~bjelbert)

A gratuitous waste of bandwidth, obviously.

Litie's Room (homepages.paradise.net.nz/~tombeard/litie)

She's called Alexandra Grace, but it's still called Litie's Room.
