Mount Victoria Radio Tower, Wellington 6011, New Zealand
Mount Victoria is a prominent hill 196 metres high immediately to the east of central Wellington, New Zealand. About 4 kilometres due south is a spur named Mount Albert and the two are linked by a ridge. Mount Victoria’s residential area is on its north-western slopes.
The Mount Victoria Lookout is situated within the Town Belt, and offers panoramic views of the greater Wellington area. Not far to its east is the Mount Victoria Radio Tower, which was Wellington’s main radio and television mast from 1927 until 1965, when the larger and more powerful Mount Kaukau transmitter opened.
