Thorndon

Thorndon, an inner suburb of Wellington, combines residential accommodation, the home of government, and is located at the northern end of the Central Business District.  It is home to New Zealand's parliament, the National Library and Archives New Zealand. Archives houses the Treaty of Waitangi.  It is also the location of one of the country's main sports venues, the Westpac Stadium.  

Thorndon is surrounded by major transportation links.  To the west, at the foot of the hills, is the Wellington Urban Motorway, part of State Highway 1, linking Wellington and Auckland, and leading to State Highway 2 connecting with the cities of the Hutt Valley.  To the northeast lies the North Island terminal of the Interislander Cook Strait ferries, an important road-rail link between the two main islands of New Zealand.  Services run daily between Wellington and Picton in the Marlborough region of the South Island.

Between these two transport links is Wellington Railway Station, the southern terminus of the North Island Main Trunk railway, and also the base for suburban commuter lines to northern Wellington suburbs, the Kapiti Coast, and the Hutt Valley. 

Several large schools are located in Thorndon, notably St Mary's College, Wellington Girls' College and Queen Margaret College.  The local state primary schools are Sacred Heart School, Thorndon School, and Kimi Ora School for special needs pupils.

Some notable attractions are the Katherine Mansfield Birthplace, The Thistle Inn (one of New Zealand's oldest public houses), and two Cathedrals: Sacred Heart Cathedral, Wellington and St Paul's Cathedral.  The Chinese Embassy is located opposite the beautiful Botanical Gardens. The American and German embassies, and the Australian High Commission are also in Thorndon.
