‘Pocket-city at the Edge of the World’

The Syd­ney Morn­ing Her­ald fea­tures a rather rave write-up on Welling­ton on their web­site today:

After years of rel­a­tive obscu­ri­ty, the city is blos­som­ing. It has rein­vent­ed itself as an ele­gant, mod­ern place with­out the arro­gance that often accom­pa­nies such devel­op­ment.

Okay, maybe we could have done with­out the ‘years of rel­a­tive obscu­ri­ty’ part.
