Isengard

Harcourt Park is quite an interesting place to visit. The Hutt River has fallen numerous times because it’s on a fault line. At Harcourt Park there are a number of river terraces that have been sign posted with the date of the earthquake that caused the river to form that terrace.

There is also a swing bridge across the Hutt River, and if you stand in the middle you can see a cliff that has vertical strata because of all the tectonic activity.

On the other hand, people who have watched the Lord of the Rings may recognise this as the site of Isengard.
