NewZealand Wellington - سفر به نیوزیلند ولینگتون - (Day 4)

#Wellington (/ˈwɛlɪŋtən/) (Māori: Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara) is the #capital city and second most populous urban area of #New #Zealand, with 398,300 residents. It is located at the #south-#western tip of the #North #Island, between #Cook #Strait and the #Rimutaka #Range. #Wellington is the major population centre of the southern North Island and is the administrative centre of the Wellington Region, which also includes the #Kapiti #Coast and #Wairarapa. As the nation's centre of #government, the New Zealand #Parliament, #Supreme #Court and most of the civil service are all based in the city. The #Beehive is the common name for the #Executive #Wing of the New Zealand Parliament #Buildings, located at the corner of #Molesworth Street and #Lambton Quay, Wellington. It is so-called because of its shape is #reminiscent of that of a traditional #woven form of beehive known as a "#skep". It is registered as a Category I heritage building by #Heritage New Zealand. New Zealand Listeni/njuːˈziːlənd/ (Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an #island nation in the #southwestern #Pacific #Ocean. The country #geographically comprises two main landmasses—that of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te #Waipounamu—and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of #Australia across the #Tasman #Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New #Caledonia, #Fiji, and #Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long period of isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of #animal, #fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the #Southern #Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is #Wellington, while its most populous city is #Auckland.
