We've been judged
- Texture
- The new Lonely Planet New Zealand guide, released last week caused a bit of controversy through New Zealand. Pointing out our weird and tacky rural icons and urban landmarks such as Auckland's Skytower, which the book says looks like a giant hypodermic needle giving a fix to the heavens and describing Wellington's Stonehenge Aotearoa as weird and tacky were some of the funnier and light hearted parts of the book.The rest of it lavishes praise on the country's beauty, but urges New Zealand's tourism industry to protect its ‘green' status.Most important, though, is that Wellington gets talked up well."If your New Zealand travels thus far have been all bout wilderness and lonesome, one-horse towns, rock into Wellington for a big-city hit. Art-house cinema, hip bars, designer boutiques, live music rooms and late-night coffee shops - it's all in ‘Windy Welly'." The book also tells visitors to check out the local museums sample the good coffee and quality beer and make the most of the wind with a lesson in sailboarding or kiteboarding. It also says to check out rare and endangered NZ wildlife at Wellington's Karori Wildlife Sanctuary. -Stacey
