Not really, more "up the valley" from the timeball. Actually tucked up the back of lyttelton, we have sheep nearby. Ask my dog, oops you can't he took too much of a liking to them! Brenchley rd stickd out like a sore thumb, going straight up the hill. If you look for the highest new houses up the back of lyttelton it is dwn and left from there. I can see a chunk of DH from there, whether that includes Te Ra i dunno. There is GIS mapping on the Environment Canterbury site. >With any > luck, I can see that.
