Today we headed west to the Waitakeres for a trip on the Rainforest Express, a narrow gauge railway run by Watercare.
The track passes over several wooden bridges, one of which, the Quinn's Viaduct, is in the picture above, and through ten pipeline tunnels, the longest being approx 600m.
The journey gives great views out over the Manukau harbour and the bush of the Waitakeres.
At the end of the line is Seaver Camp picnic area, and a 10 minute walk back up the hill leads to the Upper Nihotupu Dam (a walk we had done just a couple of months ago).
