Dunedin, Educational center in South Island, New Zealand.

Dunedin stretches along the southeastern coast of New Zealand's South Island, surrounded by extinct volcanic hills and the waters of Otago Harbour.

The city experienced rapid growth during the 1860s gold rush, leading it to become New Zealand's largest urban center by 1865.

The University of Otago, established in 1869 as New Zealand's first university, brings thousands of students who contribute to the city's educational environment.

The central district contains numerous Victorian buildings, including the Railway Station, First Church, and Municipal Chambers, all within walking distance.

The Royal Albatross Centre at Taiaroa Head marks the only mainland breeding colony of northern royal albatross in the world.
