* Wellington is the worlds most southern capital.
* The earliest Maori name for Wellington is Te Upoko o te Ika a Maui - which means ‘the head of Maui's fish’ - stemming from the Maori legend that polynesian navigator Maui fished up the North Island.
* There is one restaurant for every day of the year; range of cuisines from Angolan to Zimbabwean.
* Nearly all residents of Wellington are within 3 km of the sea.
