St Johns Bush Walk

We had great difficulty finding the Gowing Drive entrance until we realised that it was in fact on Monkton Place, a street that doesn't appear on Google Maps. Once we found how to get in, we enjoyed a short walk through lovely bush. Good to see that some of the trees have name tags giving details, and there's a very helpful information sign at the Worcester Road entrance.

This is a nice little walk right in the centre of the city. At a maximum it's 30 min long and there are a number of tracks you can take. I'm a local so it's a given I will use it alot. I wouldn't come out from say Avondale to do it. Tracks are in good order. If you are out Meadowbank way it is worth the stop.

A nice place for a walk, like a temperate rainforest. Thoroughly recommend it.

A lovely little walk . Pleasantly surprised to come across a few fairy dwellings along the way.

Really enjoyed this walk - it's such a nice change to the busy city life surrounding the area. Bird life was very active and scenery was refreshing. Could get quite slippery if it's been raining and paths are a bit narrow in areas so just take care on your walk :
