Australia's windy city Wellington is located approximately 370 kilometers away from the popular port city Sydney. Wiradjuri, which is a branch of the Australian natives, is the first settlers of the region. Wellington, whose development accelerated with the coming of the western residents, gained its today's appearance by beginning from the 1800s.

The region, which was called "Wellington Valley" in those periods, was able to attract many people's attention thanks to gold mining. Today, Wellington is known for growing vegetables and fruits rather than gold. In addition to agricultural activities performed around the river, animal husbandry also generates income for those living here.

You should definitely visit the Cameron Park in Wellington which resembles a resort town rather than a big city with its wonderful nature. In the park, which is great for cycling, skating and skateboarding, you can have a pleasant time with your family. Kimbell's Bakery is probably one of the most beautiful bakeries of the world. You can come across the bakery offering service in its historical building while walking around the center.
