The oldest house in Wellington is also in the park - it's now used as a residency for artists. I think its actually the oldest surviving house in Wellington, there were a couple of fairly major earthquakes in the city in the late 1800's in which I am sure lots of buildings were destroyed.

@ Vix - I really like visiting graveyards too, perhaps the sign of a history geek. It is heartbreaking there is a motorway running through it, I wasn't even born when this happened but when I learnt about it I felt pretty sad.
@ Cosmia - I know! Imagine getting to live in the sweet little house.
@ Alicia - The history of NZ is pretty interesting, come on over and I'll teach you more;)
@ Cb - Come and stay at my house and I'll take you to Bolton Street Cemetery and all kinds of cool places xoxox
@ Helga - Louisiana Graveyards! Amazing! I would love to travel to the deep South of the USA, I do have a good friend in Florida....hummm....my USA trip fell through this year as I need to go to Thailand for my cousins wedding. Maybe 2012 will be the year:)
