There was a lot of walking today and most of it was on the flat but there were a couple of small hills just to keep it interesting. One of the few places for a view today was from Moana Crescent and it was particularly good to stop and look over the streets that I had walked earlier this morning. This area is also called Sunshine and it lived up to it's name as the sun broke through the clouds and shone while I was walking the streets in Sunshine.
Another highlight of my walk was Shore Street and looking at the inlet from another vantage point. I have now walked three sides of the inlet and each 'side' gives a different view.
I passed the Rongo Stone Memorial on the corner of Shore Street and Portsmouth Drive today. The Rongo Stone Memorial commemorates the 211 Maori prisoners transported to Dunedin between 1869 and 1879. 74 Maori prisoners were sent to Dunedin after an armed dispute in Pakakohe in South Taranaki in 1869 and 137 prisoners were transported from Parihaka in 1879.
Today I walked past the Albion Cricket Club which is the oldest cricket club in Australasia and has been operating continuously 1862.
Also on my walk I came across this beautifully painted telephone cabinet and I loved how this one represented the community it is in.
