Today's photo is a sunset view of the Mt Cavenish Gondola - as it is officially known - in Christchurch which rises from the Heathcote Valley to the 448-metre-altitude Mt Cavendish, part of the port hills, which provides good views of both Christchurch and Lyttelton. In the photo the road to/from the Lyttelton Road tunnel is visible, and the railway to/from the railway tunnel is on the right, which pre-dates the road tunnel by nearly 100 years.
The Mt Cavendish system (opened in 1992) is one of three notable public aerial cable cars in NZ, the other two are in Queenstown and Rotorua. These have not been the subject of any book that we know of.
