A plane table identi es key features of the landscape visible from the summit.
The area has an interesting history. In pioneering times a ag was hoisted on Flagstaff Summit whenever a ship entered the harbour, whereupon the male dominated population would ock into the city in the hope of nding a wife.
The pineapple part of the name was adopted by parties of trampers who would rest at the top of a steep section to refresh themselves with tins of pineapple, often leaving the tins hanging in trees or on a fence.
The walkway links with a number of other walking tracks in the area.
