in 1850, when the first immigrants arrived in Lyttelton in what
are still referred to as ' the first four ships', this city lives
under the delusion that it is somewhere in Southern England. The
mystic charm of this city is created by the Avon River which runs
through many of the suburbs as well as the centre of the city. There
are many areas where one can walk alongside the Avon and take advantage
of the pleasant, almost rural atmosphere right in the heart of the
city. |
