Auckland
Located on the North Island of New Zealand,
Auckland is the largest city in the country.
As of
2006,
the census indicated the city had a population of 404,658.
A large number of people also live in the metropolitan area surrounding Auckland, and as
of 2007,
the combined city/metropolitan population was estimated at 1,329,900, which is over
a quarter of the New Zealand's entire population.
The central area of Auckland occupies a narrow isthmus, less than
1.2 miles (2 kilometers) wide at its narrowest point, that lies
betwen Manukau Harbour on the Tasman Sea, and Waitemata Harbour on
the Pacific Ocean. Consequently, the city one of only a handful in the world
to have harbors on two separate bodies of water.
Both of these harbors are partially crossed by bridges -
the most spectacular of these bridges is Auckland Harbour Bridge
which crosses Waitemata Harbour, just to the West of the Auckland Central Business
District.
The tallest and most recognizable building in Auckland is the Sky Tower.
This is an observation and telecommunications tower located in the city's
business district. The tower, which attracts approximately 600,000 visitors
each year, stands 1,066 feet (328 meters) tall, making it the tallest
free standing structure in the Southern hemisphere.
Visitors who go up the tower can enjoy
two restaurant levels (one with revolving seating), one cafe level,
and two observation decks, one of which has some glass sections in the floor.
If that's not enough of a thrill, you can try the "SkyJump" from
the observation deck - this is a 624 foot (192 meter) cable-guided "jump"
from the observation deck, which is sort of intermediate between a bungee jump
and a base jump.

This pioneering examination of travel writing about New Zealand in the colonial period discusses a wide range of writing that helped place New Zealand on the literary map, while providing an oblique history of the young nation in the 19th century. Exploring early newspaper accounts; the journals of missionaries, traders, and adventurers; and the guidebooks and specialized descriptions of fishing, and hunting, which promoted New Zealand as a sporting paradise, Wevers finds that writing about New Zealand was an essential tool in the colonization process. |
