Newlands Newest Bush Walk. (& shortest ! )

A new addition to the Newlands Walkways.

This new Walking Track is accessed from the new asphalt paths by the Play Area on Lyndfield Lane, and heads up the hill towards the Tennis Courts.

  The short bush walk zig-zags up to the ridge line and grassy knoll, along the top and back down through the bush to the  

northern entrance/exit of the Track at the Black Rock Road end of the Tennis Courts.

 There are rather good views to be had from the top, esp. to the south.

well done all ! )

 

Had to bath the dog....

  due to a incident with some poop in the park, Churton Park Dog Exercise Area on Halswater Dr actually. Someone failed to scoop their dogs poop, one minute she's sniffing, the next she's dropped her shoulder and rolling! Yuk! No it wasn't funny. Twice in two days!

One of the hazards of dog walking.

 Could have used Cecilia's Pampered Pooch Dog Hair Salon Dog Bath services!

Cecilia and Pampered Pooch have recently relocated from 8 Frank Johnson St, Johnsonville, on the motorway overbridge, to # 64 Ohariu Road, Johnsonville next to the Meekwoods Reserve Dog Park up above Johnsonville Main School.

Ohariu Road runs into Cunliff Street & Churton Park - very handy for anyone from there needing a Dog Groomer http://www.pamperedpooch.co.nz
