We have just moved to Camborne so can see all that area you mentioned from our house.

Hope you're settled in there, and coping with the commuter traffic into town, or taking the train.
Just a few other bits of useless information......
Looking back up the inlet from Camborne on the northern side is Motukaraka on Gray's Road which was a WWII US Marine Base, there's a nice family picnic area there and sheltered waters for the kids too. Its a wind surfer's learning area too.
There's a regional park called Battle Hill on the Paekakariki Hill Road, north of Pauatahanui where Te Rangihaeta and the Hutt Militia had their skirmish.... a great place for a picnic, walking, horse riding, mountain biking etc.
If want a bit more of a challenge there's a road off SH58 just past Pauahatanui on the road to Haywards Hill.....
Belmont Road. This is the Old Cobb & Co Coach Road to the Hutt. There's a lot of lifestyle blocks in this area, but at the end of the road there is a paper road which takes you through the farmland to the Belmont Regional Park. You emerge at the old WWII ammunition bunkers on the top of the hill over looking Belmont and the Hutt Valley.
