Auckland lies on the North Island of New Zealand and is the largest city in the state. She has around half a million inhabitants. Although it is not capital, the council meeting has its headquarters in Auckland. As everywhere in New Zealand the culture is very cosmopolitan also in Auckland, as there have always been immigrants from Europe, America and the Pacific States whose culture has mixed with the indigenous Maori culture. The city is located in front of a volcanic backdrop and between two bays - a characteristic image.
