There's a new pedestrian crossing that cuts across the Cuba Street Mall in Wellington. It's rainbow-coloured. So prettty and bright -
Carmen Rupe, New Zealand's most famous drag queen from the 1960's - she ran a coffee shop at the bottom of Cuba Street - has her image depicted in the Cuba Mall 'cross now' traffic lights (see above).
PS: Cuba Street isn't directly named after Cuba, the country. It's the name of a first ship to carry pioneers to Wellington, New Zealand.
