Lyttelton Harbour from Mt Ada

Our stunning view looking down the length of Lyttelton Harbour to the heads, from the top of Mt Ada. Fire damage is still evident from the Port Hills fire last February.

We climbed to this point by firstly walking the Kennedy's Bush Track.  The track has re-opened this Easter weekend after a year of closure, while trees were felled for safety reasons after the Port Hills fires.

Kennedy's Bush Track is an old favourite of mine, it used to pass through treed areas which were pleasant and created interest.  Now the track is completely laid bare and has a totally different feel.

The only up side is that there are now more vantage points to see the city, plains and mountains (see extra photo).
