Tunnel Gully Recreation Area
- Location
- Take SH2 from Upper Hutt to Te Marua, turn right, then left into Plateau Road, and after 1 km it leads into the recreation and lower picnic area.
- Description
- This recreation area is an attractive setting for picnics, barbeques and easy walks. The Tunnel Loop track is well marked, through a stand of very old bush which contains ferns, mosses and large rimus, full of native birds. An interesting historic feature is the Mangaroa Tunnel which is part of the disused Wellington to Wairarapa railway line. A torch is useful for this walk.
