Mt Vic & Cable Car

Today I went to the Mt Vic and Cable Car lookouts.

Initially I was concerned they might be too similar as they are both quite central Wellington locations, however I am now able to see the differences more clearly.

At the top of Mt Vic the view is incredible, and feels like you are distanced from central Wellington, because of the town belt. It is obviously different again from Pencarrow as it is touristy and is paved with concrete and accessible by road.

Layers of separation from city

The cable car lookout is very central, and very developed, especially with the new covered area. The view and location itself is very built up and man-made. Unlike the other two lookouts there is still the feeling of being enclosed, and in the city.

I now feel much clearer about the defining features of each destination.
