Today I decided to start my journey further from home and looking at the map, Ocean Grove looked like a good place to start as it would be a suburb that will be completed in one circuit. I was rewarded on today's circuit with a number of great views.
Five streets were completed today.
6. Oregon Street
7. Lombardy Street
8. Luke Street
9. Minto Street
Tomahawk Road is a quite a long street and has good places to see Tomahawk Lagoon, which is home to black swan, stilts, ducks and eels. Most of the lagoon shore borders private property but you can take the driveway off Oregon Street which is signposted and is public access to the recreation reserve beside the lagoon. Tomahawk lagoon is one of Dunedin's hidden secrets and is a great spot to bird watch or follow the track around the lagoon and up 41-peg track to the Soldiers Monument on the top of the hill, off Highcliff Road.
Walking the streets gives you time to notice things that you'd not otherwise notice and at the corner of Oregon and Lombardy Streets is the largest Aloe Vera plant I have seen!
Included in today's walk was an unnamed street at the corner of Tomahawk and Centre Road. This unnamed street is part of a new sub-division and while it is not part of the streets of Dunedin yet, no doubt it will be one day when the sections are sold and houses are built. On my way towards Centre Road, I was rewarded with views over Tomahawk Beach that are worth a rest stop on the way up the hill.
Distance walked: 6.1km Walking time 1hr 7mins
