Auckland is situated on an isthmus in the top half of
the North Island of New Zealand. It has the largest
population of any city in the country. Almost one third of the country's
population now live here. The people belong
to many races including polynesian, european and asian.
Notable landmarks around the city are the many volcanic cones including the largest, Rangitoto Island a few kilometres out into the Hauraki Gulf. Another very visible feature in Auckland is the Skytower, the highest building in the Southern Hemisphere. The weather is mild all year round, with plenty of rain through the winter months. |
