About This Site

Situated in Wellington Harbour this is the site of an old scientific research station. The mussel lines are home to sponges and anemones with juvenile leather jackets and masking crabs hiding amongst them. Over the sand look out for stargazers, sole & paddle crabs. Seahorses & pipefish can also been seen along the weedline. The remains of the old wharf and a car add further interest to this site.
