Paekakariki
Centre of the Universe


By the Simmonds Brothers

 
 

Paekakariki is a work in progress - a documation that is continually growing and evolving as the Simmonds Brothers add new interviews of real residents of Paekakariki.



Meet the local pub owner who's pub was submerged in the famous Paekakariki Flood, the Christian stirrer who used to have his own cannabis plantation, the communist radical who runs his own community newspaper, the farmer who's lived there for 30 years, the bookshop owner who writes poetry, the couple who have their own guru in India... and many more.

They're all real people, they're all cartoon characters, and they're all in Paekakariki.
