Don Donovan's World - Sugarloaf, Port Hills, Christchurch


Ramblings of a much published New Zealand author - 14 October 2012

Leaves From My Sketchbooks. 56. Sugarloaf, Port Hills, Christchurch



I did this sketch from the jetty close to where we used to live in Governors Bay. I remember how incensed local people were when that TV transmission tower was built on the Sugar Loaf but after all these years it looks as if it has always been there. I loved the drive over Dyers Pass from the city and the winding road that followed that sweep of hills to the bay below.

This is a very old drawing; we left Christchurch in 1967; but what memories it recalls...
