4 CITIES IN 2 DAYS: EXPLORING WANAKA, PICTON AND WELLINGTON (NZ 2018) /// THESTYLEJUNGLE VLOG #13
Our New Zealand road trip continues. After exploring Queenstown and closest regions of the South Island, we are heading back to Picton. On our way, we decided to have a couple of stops. Of course, we couldn't miss Wanaka and its famous Wanaka tree. Another amazing scenic lookout that is totally worth visiting is at the Lake Hawea with amazing views of mountains and calm mirror-like water. At that day we travelled about 900 kilometres and spent the night in Picton.
Next day we started exploring Picton with walking around the city centre. While waiting for our ferry to go back to the North Island, we decided to visit Ecoworld - an amazing eco-centre with wildlife rescue initiatives. And we finally saw Blue Penguins! After travelling to our final destination for this day, we had a short walk around Wellington visiting must-see places like Botanic Garden, Cable Car and Parlament building.

Places to see in ( Wellington - UK )
Places to see in ( Wellington - UK )
Wellington is a town in the unitary authority of Telford and Wrekin and ceremonial county of Shropshire, England and now forms part of the new town of Telford, with which it has gradually become contiguous.
The total town population of Wellington was 25,554 in 2011 making it by far the largest of the borough towns and the third largest town in Shropshire when counted independently from Telford. However, the town centre serves a greater area of approximately 60,000.
Wellington's first market charter was granted to Giles of Erdington, lord of the manor, and is dated 1244 and a market still exists today. To the north-east of the town is the site of Apley Castle, originally a fourteenth-century fortified manor house, the remains of which were converted into a stable block with the building of a grand Georgian house, which was itself demolished in the 1950s. The surviving stable block has been converted into apartments and retains some medieval features.
Dawley New Town was designated by the Government in 1963, and was expanded to encompass Wellington in 1968 under the new name of Telford, named for the great engineer and first county surveyor of Shropshire, Thomas Telford. The creation of Telford has divided opinion in Wellington ever since, with some celebrating the jobs and investment it brought to the area and others bemoaning the negative impact on Wellington's own economy – as well as its status and sense of identity. The development of Telford Town Centre since the 1970s has hit Wellington's retail centre hard. In addition, moves such as the renaming of the local football team from Wellington Town to Telford United highlighted to many that Wellington was being erased as a town in its own right.
The Wrekin, one of Shropshire's most famous landmarks, provides Wellington with a rolling green backdrop to the south-west. Located just two miles from the centre of the town, it brings tens of thousands of walkers and cyclists to Wellington every year.
Located in the town's Victorian market hall, Wellington Market operates four days a week and houses over 100 stalls. A Farmers' Market takes place on the fourth Saturday of the month, bringing together several Shropshire food producers and retailers in the market's historic home of Market Square.
A short walk from the centre of the town is Sunnycroft, a Victorian villa and mini-estate now owned and run by the National Trust.
The New Buck's Head football stadium, home to A.F.C. Telford United, is in Wellington. Other sporting clubs include the Wellington Cricket Club, currently in the Birmingham League Premier Division, and Wrekin Golf Club. Wellington is home to the Belfrey Theatre an amateur venue run by the Wellington Theatre Company which puts on an annual season of plays and other shows.
( Wellington - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Wellington . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Wellington - UK

Melbourne Wellington and Prahan areas
Prahran is a part of Greater Melbourne, with many shops, restaurants and cafes. The area of Prahran, centred along Commercial Road is one of Melbourne's villages.[citation needed]
The shopping street Chapel Street is a mix of upscale fashion boutiques and cafes. Greville Street, once the centre of the Melbourne's hippie community, has many cafés, bars, restaurants, bookstores, clothing shops and music shops.
Prahran takes its name from Pur-ra-ran, a compound of two aboriginal words, meaning land partially surrounded by water, in 1837 by George Langhorne. The proximity of the Yarra River and a swamp to the southwest (Albert Park Lake is the remnant) explains that description.[2]

Howick Village and Howick Beach - East Auckland - an historically conscious place
Howick is an eastern suburb of Auckland, forming part of what is sometimes called East Auckland. Due to the relatively numerous remaining heritage buildings and other historical remnants from its early European settlement past, it has been called perhaps Auckland's most historically conscious place.
Maori origins
The local iwi (Māori tribe) was the Ngai Tai people of Tainui descent. They had lived there for around 300 years with pa (fortified villages) at Ohuia Rangi (Pigeon Mountain), Te Waiarohia (Musick Point) and Tuwakamana (Cockle Bay).
Howick Village is a historic township known for the fencible or colony community that was settled by the British in the 1840s. The area is rich with history and houses New Zealand's second oldest church, All Saints Church, built in 1847 under the guidance of Bishop Selwyn. There is also an historical village where it is possible to experience costume, buildings and lifestyle from the fencible era.
The Emilia Maud Nixon Garden of Memories is a unique reserve situated in a garden setting on Uxbridge Road in Howick.The Garden was established by Emilia Maud Nixon (1870-1962) to promote goodwill between all peoples by fostering understanding of the early settlers, pioneer women and the traditions of Māori, particularly Ngai Tai. The facilities within the Garden of Memories include Emilia Maud Nixon's original home which is presently leased by the Howick Senior Citizens.
