Low cloud was shrouding the
Port Hills as we left Christchurch.
Godley Head is the headland at the north of the entrance to
Lyttelton Harbour.
There is a walk that goes along the top with views of the passageway with traffic
and wildlife (we saw seals and a
Hector’s dolphin but alas no photos).
One of the unusual features is a 120 metre tunnel
that was used to provide access to World War 2 gun emplacements.
On the way back we had a view down through the mist to
Taylor’s Mistake, supposedly so called after a 19th century sea captain who thought he was entering Lyttelton Harbour but ran aground here.
