After viewing the locomotive turn on the turntable and checking out the historic station building, cross the road and head down the willow-lined Waikari Village Walkway. A short stroll down the walkway leads you to a yellow sign pointing towards the ridgeline. This is the beginning of the 1½ hour return Weka Pass Historic Reserve walkway across farmland to a large limestone overhang shelter, containing examples of ancient Maori rock art in vivid kokowai clay. The subjects of their drawings were simple human figures, fish and dogs. Some drawings are more imaginative; others are little more than scribbles. Please note the walkway is closed during the lambing season in August. After a bite to eat in one of Waikari’s great food outlets, climb aboard the 3:10pm departure back to your car at Glenmark. An afternoon family escape Invite the whole family along for an afternoon out in North Canterbury. Invite the grandparents too – they may be eligible for a GoldCard discount on this afternoon trip.
