Lambton to Parliament tour (1 hr)

Lambton Quay (once known as "Beach Street") was once the high-water line of the foreshore.

It was the site of the original settlement in 1840, which grew into Wellington. Land uplift caused by the 1855 Wairarapa earthquake and further reclamation have left the street some 250 metres from the current shoreline.
