This week I wanted to show you another favourite Wellington place: The Massey Memorial, which is a short walk up from Shelley Bay near Miramar. It's a great place to visit if you want a quick dose of (very) fresh air and a good vista of the city.
The memorial is the mausoleum of former Prime Minister William Massey and his wife. It was finished in marble in 1930. It's pretty striking and in the most amazing spot, overlooking the harbour and city. There are also a few paths leading further up the hill from the memorial, where you can explore old concrete army bunkers and get blown about by the wind. Maybe also get a view of these guys at work on their set.
(dear strangers, I hope you don't mind me taking your portrait.)
