RE: NZ history - early Wellington settlers
Great post! I love history. Many familiar themes to all settlers stories - promises of the "land of milk and honey", natives that helped unprepared Europeans survive, perseverance to make something. And some characteristically British things like the whole settlement laid out and maps made before there was anything on the ground ;)
lol, yes; it was a shame they were so well prepared in certain areas and yet let themselves down so badly in others
