Mount Kaukau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Kaukau is in Wellington, New Zealand on the western side of Wellington harbour near Johnsonville and Khandallah. The summit is 445 metres above sea level and is the most visible high point in the Wellington landscape further accentuated by Wellington's main television transmitter tower the BCL TV transmitter mast. Spectacular views of the city, harbour and the Rimutaka and Tararua Ranges can be experienced from the summit. On a clear day you may be lucky enough to see snow-capped Mt. Tapuaeoenuku in the South Island, whilst northwest is the Porirua Basin and the broad expanse of the Tasman Sea.
