Excerpt from By Forest Ways in New Zealand
The ship which brought me to New Zealand called first at Wellington, the capital City, with a population, as I afterwards heard, of ninety thousand.
Ships steam up a narrow, rocky Channel into the harbour, which Widens out into an area of fifty square miles, with deep water right up to the town, and Wharves adjoining the Chief streets. A11 round the harbour are hills, most of them now cleared of trees and grass-grown; but in t84o, when Wellington was founded as a Colony under the British Crown, it was a tiny settlement of huts ringed about by miles of untouched forests; and you realize With never-failing wonder how great a change has been wrought in a very Short space of time. The town is built along the water front and up the hills behind.
