Day Ninety Six Waldronville

Since I had finished walking the streets of Waikouaiti yesterday,  I headed south to walk the streets of Waldronville.  I walked 13 streets today.

1273. Craddock Place
1274. Friendship Drive
1275. Viscount Road
1276. Vulcan Road
1277. Lancaster Lane
1278. Delta Drive
1279. Valiant Road
1280. Vampire Road
1281. Dakota Place
1282. Canberra Place
1283. Wavy Knowes Drive
1284. Brighton Road Waldronville Section

1285. Kilmanock Close

Waldronville is close to where I was walking a few weeks ago when I walked the streets of Green Island.  The streets of Waldronville all run off on the left of the main road through the suburb. Waldronville is close to the sea and I could hear the waves during my walk of the streets today.

The streets of Waldronville are not the most interesting streets to walk as they are flat and laid out in a grid.  This meant that I needed to walk a lot of the streets twice in order to ensure I didn't miss any sections.

There are some walkways through to the beach behind the suburb.  This gives the residents easy access to the beach and good exercise areas for dog walkers and mountain bikers. 

The last street I walked was Wavy Knowes Drive which is on a small hill overlooking the Island Park Golf Course and Kaikorai Lagoon.

 

Most of the streets of Waldronville were built in the 1950's and are named after World War 2 fighter aircraft.  This is shown in a playground located off Delta Drive where a replica of a plane has been combined into the playground equipment

 

I walked past some interesting letter boxes today.  I am guessing the snorkeling and whale letterboxes are because Waldronville is close to the sea and the cow because some of the houses have a rural outlook.

The other interesting thing I noticed about the letterboxes are that all the letterboxes in Lancaster Lane all have the same letterboxes.  This street is a new subdivision that has been built on the old Waldronville School site.

One of the bus stops that I walked past today was painted with World War 2 fighter plane scenes which reflects the street names. 

 And below is a map of the streets of Waldronville that I walked today.  The streets that I walked are highlighted in red.
