Jungle Gym Track, Wainui Hill - Walks in Wellington
New Zealand vlog!
Come with us as we take you for a walk on the wainui hill through the jungle gym track. It was a little windy on that day but nonetheless it was such a nice tramp. The track was sheltered by the trees very good on a hot day. We really enjoy this track.

Korokoro, Lower Hutt - Professionals
Korokoro is a Lower Hutt suburb located directly above Petone and the foreshore. It is well known as the dress circle of the Western Hills with many properties enjoying uninterrupted panoramic views of Wellington, Lower Hutt and the harbour.
Korokoro retains a strong sense of community generally found in more remote rural areas despite being conveniently placed only 10 minutes from Wellington and only 5 minutes to the Lower Hutt CBD.
The combination of ample open spaces and established native bush reserve areas, results in a quiet and tranquil environment.
There are approximately 500 homes in the area which provide a diverse mix of styles ranging from early 20th century villas and cottages through to the most modern architectural styles.
Korokoro offers a wide variety of walking tracks through bush clad hills and breath taking views from points overlooking the Wellington harbour. One of the well-known bushwalking tracks is the Korokoro Dam track. The track is suitable for walking or mountain biking and residents find it is a great way to get back to nature.
If you are up for the challenge, there is also a four hour walk around the Belmont trig where you will be rewarded with some of the best scenic views of the Wellington Region and the edge of the South Island.
For young families in the area, Korokoro School caters students from years one to eight and is a focal point for the local community. There is an excellent Play centre, an active Scout Group and a community swimming pool located at the School.
Korokoro is the perfectly placed suburb, letting you enjoy a peaceful sunrise while still being closely located to both Wellington and Lower Hutt City.

North Island robin, Wainuiomata Mainland Island, November 2013
Footage of dbG-Gm, a female North Island robin that had been transferred from Kapiti Island to the Wainuiomata Mainland Island in August 2013. This bird has subsequently paired with GpB-Gm and produced two juveniles from only the second recorded nesting attempt for this species in the Rimutaka-Orongorongo Ranges in over 100 years
Rimutaka Forest Park
This is a fabulous Wellington Walk and one of my favourite walking areas in the Wellington region. The McKerrow Loop walk in the Rimutaka Forest Park starts and finishes in Wainuiomata.
This is a full day walk and recommended for the fit tramper. It's also a very good 2-day tramp. There are a number of huts in the Orongorongo Valley to choose from. For more information check-out our Whakanui to Catchpool walk
