Wellington
Wellington, New Zealand's capital city, stands on a rocky coastline commanding the stormy strait between the two main islands of New Zealand. …
Wellington's citizens, with their homes and gardens patterning the slopes above the shore, soon learn to respect and to live with the capital's boisterous weather. They grow to like its everchanging mood, exhilarating sunshine and its fresh breezes. Theirs is a heritage they love to share, and up winding streets, steep footpaths, and stairwayed tracks they proudly bring visitors from many lands.
The Wellington Kowhai Gold booklet explored Wellington as centre of commerce and government. It featured tourist attractions including Oriental Bay and the Dominion Museum, sports and beaches, suburban life in the Hutt Valley, and the Wairarapa region.
