The Hungarian community in Te Whanganui-a-Tara commemorated today the 69th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution at the Hungarian Garden. It was a great day with the weather being just perfect. Luckily, we managed to get the capital's very new mayor, Andrew Little, seen here with his wife talking to the Hungarian Ambassador (left) and the Papal Nuncio (right), who is a native Hungarian, to come along and lay a wreath on behalf of the people of the capital. All by the majestic wooden gate, carved in Transylvania, and gifted to us by the Hungarian government back in 2003.

@paulhellyer Paul - Where is the Hungarian Garden exactly. I don't think I have heard of it before.

@bananabob it just up from Parliament in Molesworth Street. Also known as the Magyar Millennium Park. Originally conceived by my father-in-law it was really my wife who made it happen after her father passed away in 2002.

The Magyar Millennium Park, or Hungarian Garden as it is more often called, in the heart of Wellington, is New Zealand's only national Hungarian memorial.

@paulhellyer Just took a look at the link you provided and yes I have seen it. Problem is I just drive past it. I have never walked around that part of the city. Thanks go to your wife for beautifying a part of Wellington. God knows it needs it!
