| | Lower Hutt, New Zealand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) |
 | | Lower Hutt is the ninth largest city in New Zealand with the city center on the lower valley of the Hutt river. |
 | | Prior to the city being established, the Hutt Valley was thickly forested with marshland close to the river's mouth. |
 | | Within months of settlement, however, the Hutt River flooded, and the settlers decided to move the new colony to Thorndon, in what is now the heart of Wellington, though some settlers remained at the north end of the harbour. |
