    photoThe Rimutakas are part of a North Island mountain chain that run from the Eastcoast down to Wellington. The Rimutakas identify the southern end of these mountains and divide Wellington from the nearby region of the Wairarapa.

    photoThe Rimutakas run southwest-northeast for 55 kilometres from Turakirae Head at the eastern end of Palliser Bay to the upper reaches of the Hutt Valley where it joins the southern end of the Tararua Range.

    The climate to the west of these mountains is wetter which creates a lush landscape. To the east a drier warmer climate helps support a burgeoning wine industry.
