Location Information:
Wellington is the capital city and
third most populous urban area of
New Zealand. It is often called
Windy Wellington because it is the
windiest city in New Zealand. The
urban area is situated on the
southwestern tip of the country's
North Island, and lies between Cook
Strait and the Rimutaka Range. It is
home to 386,000 residents, with an

the surrounding rural areas.
The Wellington urban area is the
