The cycle path heading towards town and the port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The view from the top of Paritutu (153 metres) looking toward Kaitake Range and Oakura.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking almost straight down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Port.
The waterfront path runs all the way from here to the Waiwhakaiho River,
which is out of sight at the left of the photo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Neale on the way down.  There are two cyclists sitting on the wall
in front of the black car.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the Sugar Loaf Islands.
These, together with Paritutu, are all that remains of an ancient volcano.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Push the button, and watch the fountain play in beautiful Pukekura Park.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cyclists of the future enjoying the waterfront pathway.
