Walk #151, 29th January 2025
The walk is at the summit of Kennedy Bay Rd, a narrow unsealed road 7 kms from Coromandel town. The site was used for marine surveillance during WW2. A short, steep track with steps leads to the lookout.
A stainless steel pedestal mounted plate gives the compass points and names of the hills and islands in the Firth of Thames and the Hauraki Gulf, known as ‘Te Moana nui ō Toi’, ‘the great sea of Toi’.
We used to see the hills of the Coromandel from our former residence, so some time was spent trying to figure out where Warkworth and Snells Beach lay in relation to the viewpoint.
