Dunedin is the capital of Otago, a region that once swarmed with gold prospectors and was New
Zealand's largest city in the mid-Victorian era. It is now renowned as the country's capital of
eco-tourism and heritage, a city of distinguished architecture and amazing wildlife. Dunedin is also
a city of culture and learning, housing our first and largest university (Otago), a selection of
fine art galleries, museums and libraries and an eclectic array of boutique fashion design studios.
A temperate climate (mild summers and cool winters) supports fine gardens and the city is famous for
its rhododendrons. It also has a number of good swimming and surfing beaches, and much natural
beauty on the Otago Peninsula, home to a variety of bird life, including rare yellow-eyed penguins
and the world's only mainland royal albatross colony.
