WELLS WHĀNAU
We Make Our Ideas Our Lives
Some of what we get up to
LOCATION
We’re based mostly in Dunedin but branch out across the planet
Most of the Whānau are based in Ōtepoti, Dunedin although some members have spread their wings and taken flight to other parts of the country and the world. Having spent generations here now, Dunedin is home for us as a family even if we're not all living there. Recently a couple of members who have been away for a long period of time have come back to their roots.
Elaine
Karitāne, Otago
Elaine has recently returned to NZ after spending many years in Wales and before that spent a number of years in Saudi Arabia, London and France
Loretta
Karitāne, Otago
Loretta has also returned to NZ from Australia, where she lived for many years and also settled in Karitane. Wells are gathering here and taking over the village
Adventerous Spirits
Always the Sailor
Buddy has grown up on the sea. If you've been on a trip with him on the Monarch, you'll have had a fantastic experience. The Otago Harbour is a beautiful spot and the wildlife is incredible....the royal albatross, hector dolphins, seals and sea lions are a treat to see.
St Clair Beach Polar Plunge
We are not shy of a bit of craziness or standing out in the crowd (this attaire was to pay homage to Win)
Regular Gatherings in Wellington
The Wellington Experience
The Aunties have been gathering together for a number of years and in 2008 they invited the next generation to join them in Wellington to attend the World of WearableArts Awards. It is now becoming a regular event....maybe the younger generation might be keen to come to the next gathering?
