Mesh nodes on high points will extend the Wellington mesh network into areas where remote sites are likely to be feasible, including the Horowhenua (on the West Coast north of Wellington) and the Wairarapa (to the East of Wellington over the Rimutaka mountain range).
In the photo above, amateurs from several branches cooperate to install a mesh node on top of Mt Climie, which looks down over the Wairarapa and the Hutt Valley. The Mt Climie node gets traffic from another high site at Colonial Knob (near Porirua). James ZL2ET already has an experimental node outside Carterton in the Wairarapa working through Mt Climie.
