Summer Day Trip: Wairarapa Fault

Join us for a day trip this summer under the expert guidance of geologist, paleontologist and Emeritus Scientist Hamish Campbell.  We will take a leisurely drive around the harbour, as Hamish explains the Wellington Harbour, Wellington Fault, and Crustal and Active processes.  We will stop at Featherston, before heading to on Ocean Beach on the Wairarapa coast, examining aspects of the Wairarapa Fault along the way. Next, we'll take a walk along the track to Mukamuka Valley, and then find a nice place to stop and enjoy our lunch.
