Bush Walks

There are lots of walks around the Nelson region.

The Centre of New Zealand - a short walk up a hill close to the city centre and reachable from the Botanic Garden (where the first game of Rugby was played in New Zealand). Good view from the top and an interesting walk through exotic and native vegetation to get to the Trigonometrical Point and Marker at the top.

You are simply spoilt for choice...
