AUCKLAND - It is the largest Polynesian city in the Southern Hemisphere, the many island races bringing their individual skills and culture with them. The Pacific waters flow into the Waitemata, one of the most beautiful harbours in the world. With attractive water on the doorstep, many Aucklanders own boats - truly a ' City of Sails '. ROTORUA - The famous Rotorua Spa and city on the shores of Lake Rotorua, is the centre of an extensive thermal region. The curative properties of the thermal waters were known to the Maoris long before the arrival of Europeans and it was natural that this area should develop as a tourist resort and health spa. WELLINGTON - Caressing the hills that tumble down to its magnificent harbour, Wellington is the capital city and seat of Government - a city with an identity, which continues to grow from the conflict of man versus hill. With some justification, Wellington has inherited the label of being 'windy'. However, on fine and windless days, the air is crystal clear and a very special atmosphere prevails. Being the seat of Government, no visit is complete without a tour of the Parliament Buildings (weekdays). Many of the old wooden inner city houses and colonial buildings have been retained amongst the concrete and glass modernity, making Wellington an interesting city to explore. QUEENSTOWN - Nestled in a superb alpine setting on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown is the year-round holiday centre to which each season brings a distinctive mood and beauty. CHRISTCHURCH - was surveyed in 1850 when the first immigrants arrived in Lyttelton in the summer of that year in what are still referred to as ' the first four ships'. The colonists walked the rough track that led over the hills to what is now known as Christchurch. Much of the charm of Christchurch is created by the Avon River which runs through many of the suburbs as well as the centre of the city. There are many areas where one can walk alongside the Avon and take advantage of the pleasant, almost rural atmosphere right in the heart of the city.
