  • Charles Plimmer Park, Mt Victoria Wellington
    Charles Plimmer Park, Mt Victoria...
    20 images
    Charles Plimmer died in 1930 and left money in his will to the Wellington City Council to plant trees and shrubs to beautify the bays, beaches, Town Belt and reserves around Wellington. Several major beautification projects have been funded by the Plimmer Trust including Oriental Bay Beach and Otari Wilton's Bush. The Town Belt, through which most of this walkway passes, was a concept developed in England in the early 19th century as a means of combating overcrowding and poor living conditions in England's industrial cities by improving the health and well-being of citizens. The Town Belt was shown on the first plan of Wellington drawn in 1840, labelled as 'land...reserved for the enjoyment of the public and not to be built upon'.
  • Cuba St, Wellington
    Cuba St, Wellington
    46 images
    Named after an early (1840) settler ship to New Zealand, the Cuba, it is to the south of the CBD, but still in the inner city. Cuba Street was once the route of the Wellington trams. Following the removal of the rails, the middle section of the street was closed to traffic in 1969, and is one of the busiest areas of pedestrian activity in Wellington. Since 1995, Cuba Street has been a registered Historic Area under the Historic Places Act 1993, with numerous buildings being of historic significance. It is one of the more bohemian areas of Wellington, and is the home to an eclectic collection of cafes,op-shops, boutique,small fashion stores, art galleries and music shops. It is the centre of one of the four 'quarters' of downtown Wellington, the Cuba Quarter (the others being centred on Lambton Quay, Courtenay Place and Willis Street). The northern end is more commercial, and the southern end (known as the 'top' of Cuba Street, or upper Cuba) is more sparsely occupied but has seen a revival in recent years.

    The New Zealand Walkway track at Makara Beach in Wellington leads to a historic WWII gun emplacement, looking out over Cook Strait towards the South Island. The high cliffs and spectacular views that are features of Makara have for centuries provided the people of the area with good vantage points for the defence of their land. Makara Walkway is a 6 km loop, climbing to vantage points with spectacular views, and returning along the beach. A Ngati Ira pa site lies on the promontory at the western end of Fisherman's Bay, and gun emplacements at the top of the cliffs mark the position of Fort Opau, which was garrisoned by 100 soldiers during World War II.
