Introduction
Mount Victoria (Matairangi) overlooks Wellington's city and harbour — the classic lookout of this 'Windy City'. From the top you circle the Cook Strait and rolling hills; at night the city lights and harbour ships intertwine, the best vantage to read Wellington's sea-and-hill layout. Its memorial gun and tunnel remains record WWII coastal defence.
