Back to the city after walking around Hyde and Middlemarch, starting where I had finished from Day Twenty. Today I walked 12 streets
266. Lisburn Street
267. Asquith Street
268. Goodall Street
269. Catherine Street
270. Laing Street
271. Morrison Street
272. Peter Street
273. College Street
274. Ranfurly Street
275. Lomond Street
I started my walk in Caversham which is one of the oldest suburbs of Dunedin, established in 1877. The first street I walked up today was Station Road which is where the Caversham Railway Station was located. Today the station is gone and in it's place is the Caversham Reserve with a community garden.
The next street I walked up was Lisburn Street with Lisburn House being the predominate house. Lisburn House was built by the Fulton Family in 1865 and today offers boutique accommodation.
In Goodall Street is the old road bridge that went over the railway line before the motorway was built. The bridge is still there and now leads to the walk bridge over the motorway. The road bridge is unusual in that most of the tarseal has gone and is replaced with grass.
After completing the streets on the railway line side of Caversham, I crossed South Road and walked the streets on the other side. These streets are steep and have good views near the top looking towards Mornington. I have not walked any of these streets yet.
From these streets there are also good views looking back over the city and streets that I have already walked.
On my walk today I saw a couple of cleverly painted buildings. Dunedin has a great street art trail with many buildings having been painted by local and overseas artists.
