Surprise!
Just minutes from the Henderson town centre there is a
quiet refuge - the Opanuku Walkway.
The Opanuku Walkway follows its namesake, a
babbling stream which weaves through lush native
bush. This is a very sheltered area and a
rejuvenating place for walkers or joggers, even on
cool or windy days.
Opanuku highlights include the kowhai in flower
(around October) and the calls and company of fantail,
tui and kingfishers.
A picnic area is provided at the Border Road
entry/exit and here information panels reveal more
about the wildlife along the way.
How to get there
Head for Henderson Valley Rd. Access via
Henderson Park, Wilsher Crescent, Palomino Drive,
Border Rd, Chardon Place, Vintage Drive, Claret Place,
Fitzwater Place or Khaleel Place.
