WALKING
(

)
Right across the country from the Tasman to the Pacific (actu-
ally, only 16km), this walk encompasses One Tree Hill, Mt Eden, the Domain and the
University, keeping mainly to reserves rather than city streets. Do it in either direction:
starting from the Viaduct Basin and heading south, it's marked by yellow markers and
milestones; heading north from Onehunga there are blue markers. Our recommendation?
Catch the train to Onehunga and finish up at the Viaduct's bars.
From Onehunga Station, take Onehunga Mall up to Princes St, turn left and pick up
the track at the inauspicious park by the motorway.
