What To Expect
The Octagon

The Octagon is the city center of Dunedin, located in the South Island of New Zealand. It’s an eight-sided plaza with a circular one-way carriageway, bisected by the city’s main street1. The Octagon is also the central terminus of two other main thoroughfares. This area is predominantly a pedestrian reserve, with grass and paved features, and is surmounted by a statue of the Scottish poet Robert Burns1. Several of Dunedin’s significant buildings and institutions adjoin the plaza, which is also a major hub for public transport in Dunedin, primarily taxi services. The Octagon was substantially renovated during the 1980s, and is now a center of the city’s cafe culture, with many al fresco dining areas. It is also the location for the city’s annual New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Baldwin Street: The Steepest Street in the World

Baldwin Street, located in the residential suburb of North East Valley in Dunedin, New Zealand, is renowned for its steepness. It’s situated 3.5 kilometres northeast of Dunedin’s central business district. According to the Guinness World Records, it’s the steepest street in the world. The street is about 350 metres long, running east from the valley of the Lindsay Creek up the side of Signal Hill towards Opoho1. It rises from 30 m above sea level at its junction with North Road to 100 m above sea level at the top. The slope of Baldwin Street is about 1:2.86 (19° or 35%): for every 2.86 metres travelled horizontally, the elevation changes by 1 metre. Baldwin Street is not only famous for its steepness but also for the events it hosts. The most notable are the Baldwin Street Cadbury Jaffa Race, where thousands of round candies known as “Jaffas” are dropped down the steep slope for charity. We will drive up to the top by car then enjoy the steep hill, and take a photo.

Volcanic in origin, it forms one wall of the eroded valley that now forms Otago Harbour. The peninsula was formed at the same time as the hills facing it across the harbour, as part of the large, long-extinct, Dunedin Volcano. Several of the peninsula’s peaks, notably the aptly named Harbour Cone, demonstrate these volcanic origins1. These rocks were built up between 13 and 10 million years ago.
