Views Hospital Hill and Marewa

Looking down on the bottom of Hospital Hill and out towards Marewa.  I like walking I try to walk about 5 kms a day.  I dont really like heights or the stairs that I took this shot from.  They are old and there has been huge slips here over the years.  However the view is amazing and Ive wanted to take this shot and post it on my blog for a while.  I tell myself that firemen train on these stairs and so I should be ok really.  Unless we get an earthquake.  The shot is worth it though and soon I am at the bottom of the stairs.

Kennedy Park Rose Garden Part 1

Today I will show you the fragrant (and it really is!) part of the garden that is especially for the blind.


I will explain more of the history of these garden in part 2.  However in case you are wondering this park was named after the man whose homestead use to be here in around about 1874.  Charles Dugal Kennedy was a qualified civil engineer, then later he was a barrister and solicitor.
