I love absolutely, positively love everything about windy Welly being my home for eight years since 2009. My favorite day off activities included train rides to other suburbs, walking round the bay and trekking up nearby mountains. I lived just at the base of Mt. Victoria at Newtown so it was an easy access for me. However, I made it a regular dose to climb Te Koupahu taking the Brooklyn route to the turbine, up the observatory then down to Island Bay. For my round the bay, I particularly enjoyed the long hour walk around Miramar peninsula because of the panoramic vistas at every turn.
I may have left New Zealand in 2016 but the fond memories are etched into my senses. Thus, watching your travelogue on Wellington seems to be de javu for me. Thumbs up for the virtual tour!

Very nice, indeed! Though Wellington, smaller than Auckland, is NZ's Capital, I'd hazzard a guess that Wellington would dwarf Australia's capital, Canberra, somehow. The entire Australian Capital Territory is barely more than Canberra and its suburbs, and honestly, the ACT should not have separate status at all. It should be regarded simply as a region of NSW, like the Hunter Valley, New England, Riverina, Illawarra, etc.

Ahh Tim my hometown. There is nothing like driving on the road rom Petone to Wellington on a cloudless windless day. Thanks mate for this reminder of my hometown now I live in Aus. Well it was nice to drive past my sisters house in Eastbourne near the shopping centre and on to Days Bay were we were as kids. Many happy days there. Take care Tim all the best from me

Hello Tim, when you posted the Wellington suburban line a long time ago, I spontaneously fell in love with Wellington. I was particularly fascinated by its urban lightness with the French touch, as can be seen on the streets. If I had to live on the North Island, Wellington would be my first choice. - Greetings, Heinz

Ah Wellington. There is no where quite like it is there. I've been lucky to have time and the money to catch the Capital Connection down there for a day, then catch it back to Levin quite a few times over the last 25 odd years. While also having plenty of wee holidays down there with family. It never gets old.

Wonderful film, Tim. I know every sq. metre having lived there 44 years as a cyclist. Very nice on a good day, I don't miss the wind though. Oh, and stormy winters. Much milder here in Levin, and more affordable houses, at least in 2014. And steam train comes past quite often. Keep up the good work.

Don't look like it's changed much In the last 30, 40, 50 years, She's still Wellington. You going to do a trip up the Valley. Then I can really feel homesick AF. Living in Brazil for the past 10 years 600km inland from the coast.
