Today’s photo is of the Old Government Buildings in Wellington, the largest wooden building in the Southern Hemisphere.
Built in 1876 it once housed our entire public service and for 56 years it was also the home of Ministers’ offices and the Cabinet room.
On 25 July Wellington marks 150 years as the capital city. To celebrate DOC is hosting a spectacular ‘two day tea break‘ at the Government Buildings Historic Reserve this Saturday and Sunday.
There will be a range of vintage cars on display, free tea and biscuits and a theatre performance that will take you back in time to Richard Seddon’s Cabinet Room.
More information is available on the DOC website.
