Hamilton Whirlwind Tour

Welcome to Hamilton



Murals

Hamilton boasts rather a large selection of murals on various flat surfaces, including this exhortation to keep Hamilton beautiful (ironically, it is painted on the side of Hamilton's ugliest building); and a painting that is, perhaps, a rather less colourful commentary on that same building, visible across the street.



City of fountains

Hamilton, apparently, once tried to rebrand itself as "The City of Fountains." They could have picked a sillier moniker, I guess ("Waikato City" springs to mind), but hardly a less appropriate one.
