ACCESS:
From the Rose Garden the walk is downhill. It starts by the Peace Flame, and follow the road behind Anderson
Park, past the Sports Pavilion to the gate by the prominent Seddon Memorial. Take Robertson Way and explore the
side paths. Over the Dennis Mcgrath Bridge, past the Wakefield plot, you can either take the sidewalk along Bolton
Street to the city, or follow Governors Way past the Memorial Lawn to the Chapel and Sextons Cottage. To reach
the city from here, exit downhill to The Terrace, turn left to Bolton Street lights, turn right to Parliament and
Lambton Quay.
The reverse route from the city involves a relatively easy uphill walk on sealed pathways. Some secondary paths
are shingled only.
