Follow Wakari Road in northern Dunedin north-eastwards until it joins Tanner Road; veer left and within 100 metres left again into Booth Road. Walk starts at the locked gates at the end. Alternatively, from Mile Hill Road, west of Dunedin, take Flagstaff-Whare Flat Road, northwards for ca 2 km. Car park at junction. |
Description |
This track climbs from near the waterworks through bush onto the open flanks of Flagstaff Hill, where it offers good views of Dunedin. At the junction, either branch left along the ridgeline of Flagstaff Hill, then drop down Pineapple Track to the Flagstaff-Whare Flat Road, or branch right along Swampy Ridge Track. To make a loop walk, take the latter route and then head downhill on Nicholls Falls Track, and complete the trip by returning along Leith Valley Road and Islay Street (ca 1 km) onto Booth Road. |
