Fortifications, Historic, Interesting Places, Other Fortifications

The remains of Fort Buckley, in Wellington, New Zealand, overlook the Interislander ferry terminal, the Wellington Harbour & the Wellington Motorway towards the Hutt Valley.

The fort was built in 1885, and included two rifled 64 pounder muzzle-loading guns, which had a range of about three kilometres.

An original photo of the guns is shown on the Capital Defence site - "Sixty four pound gun at Fort Buckley, Kaiwharawhara, Wellington" 1886:. A site map of the original fort is also shown on the Capital Defence website:.

During World War 2 an anti-aircraft gun was installed on the former caretakers cottage area located in the slopes above the gun-pits and midway up the overall site.
