Zealandia

The Karori Sanctuary-called Zealandia is quite unique in being so close to the centre of Wellington. One of its aims is to restore the Reserve to its original habitat-this includes translocating some bird species and even replacing introduced trees with natives. I was particularly interested in the 'fence' and seeing how it compared to Rotokare's.


Zealandia is a special place that has been developed over 10 years-I particularly liked the areas where you hear individual bird sounds through pushing buttons,the variety of bird nesting boxes,weta hotels and the new information centre and interactive/educational area.
