Take the walks and see the wind sculptures and water fountains of Wellington. It’s a city that celebrates it’s essential geography and turns strong winds and choppy seas into beauty.

Simple but very fitting memorial to Ataturk. There is great mutual respect between the people of NZ and Turkey and it is great that we have this tribute, as there are tributes to NZ soldiers at Gallipoli. The site was chosen due to its similarity to Gallipoli and it was certainly very noticeable. A good walk up to the memorial and then the beach across the road is well worth a visit and explore.

Always worth a stop when visiting QEII park, plenty of parking, and lots to do in the vicinity. The exhibition is really well presented and has lots of interesting information. Quite a simple format, but effective.

Close to the museum Te Papa you can find this amazing statue. Lots of tourists take pictures with it. It is well made and leads your view towards the waterfront on the other side.
9. Kupe Statue

Kuppe statue is interesting with it’s unique look and was unveiled at this spot in March 2000, but has a long history before this date. It consists of Kupe Raiatea, the great Maori explorer and discoverer of Wellington harbour, his wife Te Aparangi and tohunga Pekahourangi. Certainly worth a photo stop.
10. John Plimmer Statue
