The first part of my walk today was to finish streets that I had walked part of yesterday.  Of course these streets all involved walking either up or down a hill.  The good thing about walking hills are the views and, like yesterday, I was able to look over at the streets of Green Island which I have already walked.

 Also like yesterday, Saddle Hill dominated the view.  From this angle it is hard to see why the hill is called Saddle Hill but once I reach the streets of Mosgiel, the shape of the hill will look more like a saddle. 

I was pleased to be able to look down onto the newer part of Abbotsford where I would be walking late in the morning, once I had finished the streets on the hill.  

Another area that I would be walking once I had finished the streets on the hill were the streets of Sunnyvale which behind the sports field. 

As I walked closer to Sunnyvale, I could hear the noise of the traffic on the motorway.  I could also look across the motorway to see streets that I have not walked yet.  

The houses in this area get a good view of the surrounding hills and down onto the streets of Sunnyvale.  I have now walked all the streets in the foreground of this picture.  

I was happy to find four interesting letterboxes today.  Three of them are very solid, metal letterboxes and the forth letterbox has been made interesting by the owners. 

And something else that I spotted that I thought was interesting was both of these gates that are not connected to a fence. Other than holding up the letterbox, I am not sure what the purpose of having a gate that you can walk around.
