Corrugated Iron Kingswood
Jeff Thompson’s corrugated iron clad HQ Holden Kingswood in Wellington’s Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand. Maybe Holden wasn’t a lost brand in 2005, but the well loved, and hated, Kingswood badge was having been replaced by the Commodore in 1978.

Wellington Harbour Tree Fern
The tree fern sculpture on the waterfront in Wellington. This was also seen in the More Wellington post on BrizBunny posted much closer to the time.
Update: No sooner do I hit post and I discover that these are in fact Nikau Palms, the most southerly of all palms trees, and a New Zealand native. These 10m tall metal versions were designed by Ian Athfield as part of the Wellington Library design.

Wellington Railway Station Sign
Wellington does a great job of its street signs to some of the tourist hotspots, like the Railway Station and the Cable Car. Apparently double Fairlie steam locos were a feature of the early days of New Zealand railways in the 1870’s, with some seeing use into 1920.
