This is a fascinating place having been used to isolate sick people and keep animals in quarantine. Now its more of a nature reserve as it is predator free. There are wetas (huge, and I mean huge, beetle bugs) Tuataras, lizards and birdlife. We trotted around the island walkway and took in some of the best views of Wellington harbour.
