New Zealand's capital
In 1865, Wellington became the capital city of New Zealand, replacing Auckland, where William Hobson had placed the capital in 1841. The Parliament of New Zealand had first met in Wellington on 7 July 1862, on a temporary basis, but Wellington did not become the official capital city for three more years. In November 1863, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Alfred Domett, places a resolution before Parliament (meeting in Auckland) that ... it has become necessary that the seat of government ... should be transferred to some suitable locality in Cook Strait [region]. Apparently, there had been some concerns that the more highly populated South Island (where the goldfields were located) would choose to form a separate colony in the British Empire. Several Commissioners invited from Australia (chosen for their neutral status to help resolve the question) declared that Wellington was a suitable location because of its central location in New Zealand and good harbour. Parliament officially met in Wellington for the first time on 26 July 1865. At that time, the population of Wellington was just 4,900.
As the national capital, Wellington is the location of the highest court of New Zealand, the Supreme Court. The historic former High Court building has been enlarged and restored for the use of the Supreme Court.Government House, the official residence of the Governor-General, is in Newtown, opposite the Basin Reserve. Premier House, the official residence of the Prime Minister, is in Thorndon on Tinakori Road.Wikipedia

Adrenalin Forest in Wellington - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – Backpacker Guide New Zealand
Day 72: Today we are heading to Adrenalin Forest in Wellington to climb among the trees! It’s an awesome thing to do in Wellington as part of our 365 Days: 365 Activities!
Yesterday - Day 71 -
Tomorrow – Day 73 –
About this video:
Today we are climbing among the trees of Adrenalin Forest in Wellington. Adrenalin Forest is a huge obstacle course in the trees with ziplines, climbing, crawling, swinging and so much more! Adrenalin Forest is a high wire obstacle course in New Zealand.
We head on over to Adrenalin Forest in Wellington to be given a safety briefing on how to use the harnesses on the tree top course. Then we are on our way gaining height with each stage. Trouble is, Robin is petrified of heights so the higher we go in Adrenalin Forest, the more Robin starts shitting his breaches.
The great thing about Adrenalin Forest in Wellington is that you have 3 hours to do as much as you can – that’s plenty enough time to complete the all the Adrenalin Forest courses slowly. For a price under NZ$50, we are not complaining.
Adrenalin Forest is an awesome thing to do in Wellington in New Zealand if you are looking for an active and challenging activity that is great value for money.
So what do you think of Adrenlin Forest in Wellington? Is Adrenalin Forest something you would do in Wellington?

Introducing shops and stores in Wellington 在惠靈頓購物
Let’s View The World TV lvtw.tv
I decided to go to Wellington惠靈頓 at the beginning of winter! Thanking my lucky stars that I took my snow jacket, because I was really cold most of the time! Not to mention they had TWO winter storms while I was there, one trapped me indoors for 5 days straight!! Luckily on the days that the sun was shining, I managed to shoot some videos in downtown Wellington.
For the most part I try NOT to focus on tourism, rather I try and introduce things I would like to know myself before arriving in a new city. For example what’s the transportation like, and how to take it, safety, laws relating to alcohol and drugs, knowing what types of shops or supermarkets they have, if they have a chain pharmacy where the locals shop and so on.
Do subscribe to my channel so that you get notifications when I post new videos, and I often post new videos! ;)
Love YouTube, but you should really also check out my web page! Lots more information, links, maps, tips and other videos that you might like, not to mention everything is neatly organised under country categories too! Easy Peasy!

New Zealand Parliament Tour in Wellington - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – BackpackerGuide.NZ
Day 74: Today we are going to show you what the free New Zealand Parliament Tour in Wellington is really like as part of our 365 Days: 365 Activities.
Yesterday - Day 73 -
Tomorrow – Day 75 –
About this video:
Today we are checking out the New Zealand Parliament Tour in Wellington!
We are making our way into the city centre of Wellington, New Zealand and the first thing we are going to check out is the New Zealand Parliament Tour at the Parliament buildings. It’s a free thing to do in Wellington!
However, when we arrive at the New Zealand Parliament buildings and the Wellington Beehive, we find out that absolutely no cameras or even phones are allowed... Well, this is awkward.
All we can really show you is the awesome exterior architecture of Wellington’s famous Beehive building, which is not included in the tour by the way. We tour the New Zealand Parliament buildings such as the library, earthquake proofing in the basement and the house of representatives.
We learn a little bit of history on the New Zealand Parliamant Tour along the way.
So what do you think of the New Zealand Parliament Tour in Wellington? Is this free activity something you would do in Wellington?
