Brooklyn Wind Turbine

On Good Friday we took a drive up to the Meridian Energy Brooklyn Wind Turbine up in the Windy Wellington Hills. The ironic thing is it stops working when the winds hit 80 km/hr which is quite often in Wellington!!!!! You get a great view across the City from up here!!! http://windenergy.org.nz/nz-wind-farms/operating-wind-farms/brooklyn
































View across to Makara where a wind farm is being erected, the wind turbines are much bigger than the one at Brooklyn. The proposed 62 turbines will generate enough electricity for 70000 homes. ( I dont think they have allowed for Rob and his gaming systems!!!!)
































































Our 'Easter Weta' we found waiting for us in our garden!!!!
