Looking towards Makara from the top of Wrights Hill. Look closely and wind turbines can be seen on the distant hills

Held off going to Zealandia today because the forecast was 100% probability of rain by 11:00am. Well, the rain didn’t arrive until 14:00 and now it’s 50% probability of rain from 08:00am tomorrow and 12 degrees 😖

Looking out towards Makara hills from Wright’s Hill with cabbage trees in foreground. Expand the photo and you’ll see more than a dozen wind turbines on the distant hills

View from Wright’s Hill overlooking Wellington and Port Nicholson. Mount Victoria can be seen as the tree-lined hill with houses half way up to its summit

Used to play at Wrights Hill Fortress as a kid & almost chopped my fingers off with one of the underground entry lids 🙄
