When the Presbyterians arrived to found the city of Dunedin they spent no time mucking around. In short order they built secondary schools for boys and (progressively for the time) girls, the country's first university and this impressive church. It used to sit on a promontory overlooking the beach until they used most of Bell Hill to fill the beach in, and make a nice flat place for the railway lines. It's said, and I think it's true, that the tallest buildings in a city reflect the values of that place. So, in Auckland, it's gambling and commerce. In Wellington, just commerce. In Dunedin, although commerce is starting to sneak up on us, it has always been God and learning. Which are the reasons I live here, I guess.
