Over Looking Lyttelton Harbour

by rozehill - last update: Nov 7, 2003

Surrounding Hills
The Port Hills have a rich and varied Maori and European history. The 'recent' biological history stretches back to the last ice age approximately
14000 years ago. The landscape qualities of the Port Hills provide a distinctive backdrop to the City, harbour and low lying plains. The rolling tussock grasslands are largely unobstructed and uninterrupted by structures, and form a unique backdrop to Christchurch. The steep slopes, bluffs and rock cliffs of the Harbour Basin with a patchwork of agricultural and natural bush elements is interesting. There are rolling pastoral hill slopes and regenerating bush areas of the south western Port Hills from Hoon Hay Valley to Gebbies Pass. The Port Hills skyline with rolling slopes punctuated by volcanic tors and high bouldery peaks.

 I was wondering why you spelt Summer wrong. So far, CC (what is the abbrev for Christchurch?) looks worth a visit. Will check more later
