    This short walk up through the bush out onto a tussock field is a good way to fill in an hour. It doesn't really go anywhere as such but is a nice easy stroll.

    Short walk up to a viewing platform of wooden construction which we climbed up on - about 30-40 round trip. Good if you are tight for time. Gravel path with a few steps.
