    My dad was a truck driver and helped build Baldwin St, the only way they could get the trucks up it was in reverse. We lived further down the valley, higher up in Mt Mera, the streets could only go straight up so far after that it had to zigzag.

    The city really does empty out in summer - students go back to their home towns, and a lot of Dunedinites head away to Queenstown or other tourist places in central Otago. I sat on that grass bank opposite the University Clocktower many times while I was at university :) And I still go to regular pub quizzes at The Bog!

    We have a small forest in the center of the city also. There are walking paths that pop out to different parts of the city. I used to play in the part of the belt across from my house as a child.

    A student died going down Baldwin St in a wheelie bin when I was at uni. I appreciate that it’s too late now but I hope you got to see the glow worms up Leith Valley and do some of the walks through the town belt. Also checking out Aramoana and the peninsula at night makes for great stargazing.

      @GlenAndMado I know! But we tend to have a really terrible Christmas about every 4-5 years, and in between, the weather is usually just as good as anywhere else - spent most of my time off at the beach, last year (instead of sitting in front of a fire, like this horrible one)! 😂

    In 1953 there was a deep (to me at 5 years old) ditch between the road and footpath. I was running down hill and according to my mother, accidently did a forward flip into that ditch. I only vaguely remember it lol.
