controversial because of their height, the male and female carved figures are traditionally used in Korea to mark boundaries and guard town gates.

Nearby, the Japanese Kurashiki garden draws you down an avenue of blossom-laden cherry trees to a thatched-roof summer house. Further along is the garden of the northern Chinese province of Gansu, famous for its location on the 2000-year-old Silk Route and connections to Cantabrian Rewi Alley. On a grassy slope to the west, a Native American totem pole and frog and orca limestone sculptures mark the Seattle garden.

Visitors access the gardens by a network of well-formed walkways. The shared-use trail I’m following links to the Crocodile Track, one of Christchurch’s newest mountainbiking trails. I attack it on foot, climbing through mature pines that give way after a few minutes to a long and secluded valley. The track snakes along grassy hillsides of patchy scrub, eventually linking with the Kennedy’s Bush Track. That trail continues all the way to the Summit Rd, although I’ve turned back

well before then. The sun is dipping towards the Southern Alps and the ghosts of the quarrymen are calling.

Soon, I’m standing alone on the lush green field at the foot of the quarry walls, dwarfed by the mighty amphitheatre and its silence. Small birds flit from ledge to ledge, their chimes carrying like church bells across a valley. Copper sunlight steals across the rock face, sharpening its detail, laying bare its ancient secrets.

To one side stands a row of tall pillars set into the wall like the ill-fated Buddhas of Bamiyan. Laid down when the Lyttelton Volcano

... scoria and ash intersperse with a crazy mosaic of rock, swarming and swirling like Van Gogh brushstrokes.

Halswell Quarry

erupted 12 million years ago, these classic formations of columnar basalt are the oldest rocks on display. Elsewhere, scree and red pockets of scoria and ash intersperse with a crazy mosaic of rock, swarming and swirling like Van Gogh brushstrokes.

These patterns characterise Halswell stone. They formed about six million years ago after the eruption of the Diamond Harbour Group, when a great column of magma pushed up through the older rocks, forming an overtopping cone. Rapid cooling of the lava cracked the resulting basalt into natural slabs, making it comparatively easy to extract.

Heading home, I check out the old buildings that provide a glimpse into the lives of the quarrymen. The crusher sheds are boarded up, but are earmarked for a museum based on tools and machinery used on the site. Further along the drive, a whare once housed single men laid off during the Great Depression, when married men were given priority for jobs. The 1922 building is one of New Zealand’s best examples of single-men’s quarters, and a worthy monument to Halswell stone.

Overlooking the Kennedy’s Bush Rd entrance, an old stone house sits half-hidden among tall trees. Built in 1927 for Ned Paterson, the longest-serving quarry manager (1915-1943), the house doubled as a show home for the stone.

Under the Halswell Quarry management plan, the park ranger will relocate from his current office in an old site shed to the manager’s house, where a display centre is also planned. An interpretive trail will be built along the historic tram route south of the Kennedy’s Bush Rd entrance through which I leave.

Two lasting themes I take with me are the value of preserving the past, and how time and commitment cannot only mend a broken landscape, but can make it better than before. Looking back after Canterbury’s 7.1-magnitude earthquake, those sentiments seem more relevant than ever.
