City to sea bridge, Wellington waterfront

Designed by Maori artist Paratene Matchitt, the bridge symbolises the origin story of Wellington Harbour - supposedly created by two taniwha (sea monsters) who once lived in a lake. In an attempt to reach the ocean, they crashed through the earth, their bodies carving an opening that turned the lake into a harbour.  Look for the taniwha carved into the side of the bridge. Atop the bridge, the sides are carved with benches and alcoves that make for a great perch for people watching. (Source: www.myguidewellington.com)
