We were supposed to go to the seaside village of Kaikoura today for a culinary festival called Seafest. But we procrastinated and by the time we got around to ordering tickets, it had sold out! So, Kaikoura another day. On to plan B.
We went for a bush walk instead. Kennedy's bush is in the port hills on the side facing the Canterbury plains. We had just a few glimpses of the plains before descending into the bush. We saw lots of ferns, trees, and other bushiness. It was very bushy. And there were some crazy bird songs going on.
Here's the view from the parking lot - not bad, eh?
This (below) is called Sign of the Bellbird - it's not a sign at all though, it's a building. There are a few "sign of"s in the port hills - Sign of the Kiwi, Sign of the Takahe. They're rest houses built in the early 1900s for the early settlers who walked these tracks.
Here are a few photos of the bushiness.
