Can you list five historic landmarks in new zealand? |
Travel Info i need a least five different landmarks in different cities in new zealand. thank you very much Travel Tips Hmmm...ok You want historic right not tourist attractions as such. 1. The Beehive: Wellington, shaped just as it sounds it is our parliament building. 2. One tree hill: (has no tree anymore got chopped down) thanks to activists, but is still a beautifull place. 3. Treaty house: In Waitangi-Bay of Islands, a legal document signed by the cheifs and brittish representatives that is still inforced to day. 4. Stone Store: Kerikeri - Bay of Islands, First missionary settlement and a really beautifull seaside town. 5. Cape Reanga - very top of NZ and fabled to be the final journey of the dead to leap from this cliff side into the next world. 6. Bluff - home of the very delicious (and huge) world famous bluff oyster not too mention the beautiful abiloni pearl. phew theres a couple HISTORIC places ... there are a whole lot more. People get mixed up with what is historis and what is an attraction now days. Others I know of two: One is a plaque in Maketu on the Northern Island, South of Tauranga, where the Maori first arrived in the 1300s The second is in the Mount Cook Village on the Southern Island and the base of Mount Cook. The plaque honors Tom Fyfe, James (Jack) Clarke and George Graham as the first to climb to the top on December 25,1894 Christchurch Cathedral - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/christ_chur... Dunedin railway station - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/dunedin_rai... Auckland - One Tree Hill - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/one_tree_hi... Wellington - Beehive Parliament Building - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/beehive_%28... Napier - Sound Shell (or any or the Art Deco buildings) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/napier,_new... I've seen all these places. larnach castle, the parliment buildings, the sky tower, how old is historic? do they have to be man made or can they be natural? one tree hill (memorial to a dying race, but the maori didnt die) auckland otago girls high school (first girls school in the southern hemisphere) dunedin bastion point (valuable real estate and site of major conflict in the 1980s but as a result of over 100 years of petitioning) auckland central otago railway trail (follow the old goldminers road) starts in middlemarch, ends in clyde turangawaewae marae (tainuis marae, strong point of the king movement also where te puea build a hospital for maoris) ngaruawahia mount cook/aoraki (spiritual ancestor of ngai tahu, owned by ngai tahu until govt fulfils it obligations then will be gifted back to all)mount cook hmm...i know.
