Ohariu Travel Guide

Wellington

Wellington, New Zealand. Power pylons on hilly farm, with wind turbines in the distance. View towards Mākara from the Skyline Northern Walkway at Kilmister Tops above Ohariu Valley.
We rode some horses up to get these stunning views of the Ohariu area near Wellington. Everything is so lush and green.
