Porirua Information
At Porirua the main shopping centre is just across the stream from the main railway station, and buses depart for numerous suburbs. Other stations are Kenepuru in the south (within walking distance of the Kenepuru Hospital and parts of Linden), then north from the city centre in order Paremata (where buses leave for Whitby), Mana, Plimmerton, Pukerua Bay, and Muri.
Attractions:
* Colonial Knob, to the west, may get snow in winter but at other times is a rewarding few hours' walk for great views of Cook Strait and beyond.
* Pauatahanui Inlet, with its eastern end a wildlife sanctuary having one of the highest densities of copepods in the world.
* The New Zealand Police Museum at The Royal New Zealand Police College campus, Papakowhai Road, Papakowhai, Porirua.
* Enjoy Plimmerton Beach (one minute from the railway station) and maybe watch yet another future world champion windsurfer or boardsailor beating the breezes.
A major attraction of central Porirua is its shops and mall, with the 12-storey Wrightson Building (linking with New Zealand's earliest pastoral service companies) overlooking most. Saturday morning early-birds may pick up fresh cheap produce at the central city open-air market.
