So, walking up Cuba. Just enjoying the vibe, and a North American voice comes through "I've seen a lot of beautifil things in New Zealand, but this takes the cake".

It was The BUCKET FOUNTAIN

...anyway. The fog cleared and it was a beauty day. Today I had a cone of hokey-pokey, rode the Wellington cable car, explored the royal botanic gardens, listened to so many birds, walked up and down Cuba St, and saw the Bucket Fountain 🌞

A nice little shake at the World Famous Bucket Fountain! #eqnz

There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

Are you even a Pōneke kid if you haven’t fallen into the bucket fountain? #wcc #pōti2025

Sneak peak of something new for the next, um, our first tea towel pre-order as Bird and Beach.

Bucket Fountain will be Ryan's first ever tea towel design to be offered for sale, and there are more regional ones in the works.

Ms 20 landed her first post-Otago Uni job this week in Wellington so Friday night drinks is a celebration from one of my old favs Matterhorn in Cuba Mall and once as iconic as the Bucket Fountain (sadly the M is no more). Enjoy the weekend everyone! 🍸 #TGIF

Another beautifully splashy day at the World Famous Bucket Fountain!

Is Wellyputt.co.nz the greatest mini-golf course of all time just by virtue of having a mini-World Famous Bucket Fountain? Yes, obviously.

Splashy Happy New Year from the World Famous Bucket Fountain!

Photo at night in an outdoor mall of a fountain surrounded by wet, well, everything. Stones, steps, red brick footpath, and a visible splash coming off the fountain. The fountain is described as: "The Bucket Fountain is an iconic kinetic sculpture in Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. It is located in Cuba Mall, which is part of Cuba Street. It consists of a series of "buckets" that fill with water until they tip, spilling their load into the buckets and pool below."
