Perambulation of Makara Coastal walk incl the Opua Walkway and Quartz Hill/Meridian wind farm on Sunday 8 May 2022.
This walk is interesting and varied including a marine coastal walk around the Makara Coast to Opua Bay with its various wildlife. Followed by a relatively easy walk up the Opua Walkway which takes in some pre European habitation. We will ascend to the old Post Office buildings at Quartz Hill where the telegrams used to arrive from overseas in the 1920-1950’s and the Meridian wind farm. Return will be via the Fort Opau WW2 coastal defences and an old Pa site along the hillside coastal track above the beach.
A start time of 9.30 at Makara Beach. If anyone wants to car pool a good place to do this would be near the Zealandia over flow car park in Birdwood Street just through the Karori Tunnel meeting at 9.00 which will give enough time to get to Makara Beach by 9.30.
Walk takes around 3.45 hours which will ensure we are back at the Karori Park Café for a bite to eat a little after 1 pm.
