| Page Views: 685 Last Visit to Wellington: February, 2004 | Wellington, hilly city by the waterfront by Kate-Me - last update: Mar 12, 2004 |
Wellington is New Zealand's capital city, with a population of around 300,000 people.
Because it's so hilly and houses and streets are dotted all over it, land is at a premium, and many residents have to live out of the city some distance away on flatter ground, at Upper and Lower Hutt.
Here is the place where you get the best view of the city: the top of Mt Victoria.
The drive to the top, along narrow residential streets, is so steep I wonder how some old cars can actually make it! |

Hi Kate, sorry to hear you didn't find Chocolate Fish you were ever so close as it just further around the bay from Seatoun - at Scorching Bay. Hope you had fun anyway. | mangueirense Tue Apr 6, 2004 17:52 UTC
Hi Kate, that first pic on your Wellington Page reminds me a bit of Monaco...it is a little similar from the landscape, ins't it? Anyway, great start! |
