Organiser: Justin Atkinson
On this week's instalment of Weeknight Walkies, we'll be travelling to the Hutt. This part of Wellington is not always covered by VUWTC, so I'm keen to explore it a little more.
The plan is to meet at 5:15pm at Wellington Train Station, we'll then catch the 5:37pm Melling train to Melling Station (with the 6:07pm + many 83 buses to Queensgate as a backup). We'll then follow the Hutt River, stopping by some playgrounds, Gear Island, Junglerama, and other hip spots.
We'll then arrive at the mouth of the river and head down the Petone Foreshore, including stops at the full-size scaled model railway, centrepiece playground, and the derelict Petone Wharf (perfect for climbing!!!) We might even make a cheeky 5min side trip to the Hutt famous "Petone artesian water fountain - Te Puna Wai Ora," it's got great tasting natural water (and it's free)!
We'll wash up at Petone Train Station, with constant Hutt Valley trains throughout the evening. Maybe stop for a bite to eat at the nearby Macca's?
