The Brooklyn Wind Turbine is a Wellington landmark which sits high atop the city, marking a great panoramic vantage point over the city and it’s harbour and for that reason we have visited frequently to show off Wellington’s geography to visiting family and friends.

I only recently realised it is also the starting point for a great walk up to Hawkins Hill Radar Station. The sealed road is private but walkers and cyclists are welcome. The roughly 4 k walk to the Radar Station (looks like a large, white golf ball) takes you past an Ostrich Farm, a castleated building and then to great views to the South Island. You can carry on walking for some distance past the Radar Station, although I haven’t yet ventured that far!
