The sunny South Island city is so proud of its purported position smack bang in the centre of New Zealand that is has a Centre of New Zealand Walk. To its credit, Nelson City Council acknowledges on its website that Botanical Hill is not the geographical centre of New Zealand. There’s a walk to this Centre of New Zealand too – also known as the Centre of New Zealand Walk. From Nelson City we are close to both beaches and mountains.”That may be, but it doesn’t change the fact that Nelson City is not the geographical centre of New Zealand. If you want photographic evidence of your visit to New Zealand’s “centre” though, you’re probably best to do Nelson’s Centre of New Zealand Walk.
