Somes Island





Somes Island  is about 20 minutes out in Wellington Harbour - in its time it has been  a POW camp, internment camp and also a quarantine station .  Now it is a conservation area and very nice for walks.  There were a couple of school parties and a few oldies like us.  We could use our gold cards to get there on the ferry  which was good. The flowers were beautiful - white ones from the lace bark, hebes and the bright orange berries of the coprosma.  We were delighted to see a large tuatara sunning itself  conveniently along the way.
