A guided walk navigating the urban environment of Glen Eden created by Christina Houghton.
Meet at the Glen Eden Train Station.
Following the subtle signs that locate us while noticing the seasonal markers, this walk moves through Glen Eden towards Waikumete Stream. Wayfinding Waikumete investigates the lost name of Waikumete (waters of the kumete bowl) unveiling stories of the past, present and future. This walk is part of a series of walks that track the history of Waikumete.
The walk begins at the Glen Eden train station and moves through Glen Eden towards the Waikumete stream. It will be offered as a group experience at Alert Level 1 and 2 and as a self-guided walk at Alert Level 3 or 4. At level 2.5 the walk will be offered as a mixed live and pre-recorded experience in socially distanced groups of 10.
We will provide you with further details in the week before the walk. Updates will be announced at About Walking's website and on Te Uru’s Facebook page.
Wayfinding Waikumete is presented in partnership with the Auckland Heritage Festival 2020.
