I have become used to seeing Saddle Hill from this angle and today is the last day of walking streets that I will Saddle Hill from this angle as my goal for the day is to finish walking the streets of Mosgiel.

I walked a mixture of streets of long, straight streets and shorter, curved streets. The long, straight streets were wide and tended to have older houses

While the shorter, curved streets had newer houses and tended to have more trees and grass verges.

Most of the streets I walked today had a view of Saddle Hill. I have enjoyed seeing Saddle Hill, occasionally it has been covered in cloud although mostly, like today, I have had an excellent view of it.

Some of the newer subdivisions have a view of the Chain Hills and have lots of landscaping on the surrounding streets which makes them very enjoyable streets to walk though.

I walked past a number of playgrounds and sports fields today. Mosgiel has a lot of playgrounds and sports fields and it has been great when I have come across these open, green spaces as it has given me the opportunity to see something other than streets and houses.

Today I walked past Taieri College. Taieri College started in 1871 when it was known as Mosgiel District High School and by 1882, there were over 170 students at the high school. In 2004, the high school merged with Mosgiel Intermediate to become Taieri College and now has over 1200 students. This year is the schools 150th anniversary.

I walked past some interesting letterboxes today. I really liked the one painted with New Zealand's native birds and I thought the one with the 'person' leaning on the letterbox was clever.
