Description of this Walk

Category: This walk has a lot of steps Meet at Plimmer Statue at 12:30 pm; walk up Plimmer Steps to the memorial seat to John Plimmer. Cross Boulcott St and walk down Boulcott St until you reach Church St. Walk up the Church St steps to The Terrace. Cross over to the other side of The Terrace. Between 214 & 216 The Terrace, there is a public access to Kelburn Park. Follow the path as it goes above the Motorway Tunnel, heading towards a rather ugly wire fence by a hidden waterfall. This is the Kumutoto waterfall, the streams last view of sunlight until it escapes from its culverts into the harbour near Shed 5. This site is significant to tangata whenua. Beside the waterfall, steps lead up through shady bush to the car park of the Kelburn Club a squash club built on the Town Belt. Go straight across the car park and take steps heading up to the left of the Club entrance. These lead to the croquet club grounds. Follow the hedge round to Salamanca Road and cross at the zebra. Turn left towards Kelburn Parade and almost immediately right into an alleyway that passes some grand old Kelburn houses, up to Rawhiti Terrace. Take a sloping path to the right, emerging near the top of the Cable Car. Enjoy the wide and magnificent view from the look-out. Take the path to the north of the look-out down to Salamanca Rd. Cross the road and head right for a few metres, then left down Gladstone Terrace towards Weir House, an attractive hall of residence. Take the pedestrian access to Salmont Place and then right into Clermont Tce, which becomes Everton Tce. Cross the motorway bridge into Boulcott St, back down Plimmer Steps to Lambton Quay. This walk has quite a few steps. www.livingstreets.org.nz
