This is the walkway that runs along Ferry Road and the Heathcote River at Ferrymead. As you can see it has some rather large cracks in it thanks to our series of earthquakes. There is a sign up saying the track is closed, but I see plenty of people are still walking and cycling through it. Though it might be easy enough to dodge the cracks, I’m not too sure about the condition of some of the buildings that border the walkway though…

It’s certainly a lovely spot and as it is right by the estuary there is a lot of bird-life in this area. To learn more about this walk and others around the Heathcote River you might like to download the CCC guide to Heathcote River Walks.
