On two beautiful summer evenings in late 2024 and early 2025, VUWTC used the legal channels to light bonfires at Princess Bay beach. We were so good, we printed off our official Fire and Emergency fire permits. However, these are different to fireworks permits.
The first bonfire, we were more successful. We remembered a lighter, and had heaps of firewood after we drove to the neighbouring Houghton Bay to steal its resources. The second bonfire, we were less successful. We did not remember a lighter, so we cosied up to awesome strangers who had dug out a deep firepit with seats. Lauren and Justin bribed access with some medium-sized sticks they had collected at Island Bay.
Two very fun nights on one of Wellington's best swimming beaches in the warm sun!
