New Zealand's seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February. The country's changeable weather means conditions can shift quickly, though the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate.

English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country. The steps remain a straightforward stop for anyone tracing the harbour's edge in Auckland.
