Day Twelve St Kilda

 I'm walking on the flat streets of South Dunedin and as most of the streets are in a grid pattern, I am walking horizontal streets then vertical streets to ensure that I walk every street and some of these streets are quite long.  Today I walked 8 streets

123. Grove Street
124. Tedder Street
125. Eskvale Street
126. Annex Street
127. Begg Street
128. New Street
129. Market Street
130. Prince Albert Road 

 Walking streets on the flat means there are not many places to get views of the city, except some streets that look towards the hills.  This view is looking towards the hills of St Clair. 

 

 

It was quite fast walking today and one of the things I noticed today was how close the houses are to each other.  Being on the flat, South Dunedin was one of the first parts of Dunedin where houses were built and as a result a lot of the houses are wooden villas interspersed with more modern  townhouses.  I was quite intrigued by an old stone house built in 1879 that I passed today.  

An interesting thing I noticed on my walk today is this footpath that is concrete on one side of the street and the usual asphalt on the other.  Concrete footpath's are not common in Dunedin and this is the first street that I have walked that is concrete. 

Today I also walked past the St Kilda Fire Station which was built in 1965.
