Bracken's View
Alongside Northern Cemetery (Lovelock Avenue), it overlooks North Dunedin and the Tertiary Campus. The lookout commemorates poet Thomas Bracken, who is buried nearby. Bracken wrote the words of New Zealand's national anthem.
Signal Hill
At the summit of Signal Hill scenic reserve is a lookout, and a monument comprising two large bronze statues that commemorate 100 years of British sovereignty (1840 - 1940). Dunedin's Scottish ties are recognised by the fact that a piece of rock from Edinburgh Castle is incorporated into the lookout.
Mount Cargill
Three peaks dominate Mt. Cargill, north of the city. Two walkways flank the mount. Vehicle access to the carpark. Views of harbour, peninsula and city and almost half the Otago coastline.
Flagstaff
Tussock and subalpine vegetation on the edge of the city centre. Enjoy a 1 hour return walk to the summit. Access off Whare Flat Road. Good views of the city, harbour and peninsula.
Unity Park
Located near the top of High Street. A plane table sets out surrounding features and there are splendid views down the harbour. The bronze bust of Rear-Admiral Richard Byrd (1888 - 1957) recalls the first sea-air exploration of the Antarctic.
Rotary Park
Off Highcliff Road as you drive onto the Otago Peninsula, this stop provides another overview of the harbour, city and surrounding hills, this time looking north and north-east to Taiaroa Head.
