It's not clear where the two termini would have been, but the trajectory could be from where the Southern Walkway now starts on Oriental Parade to Roseneath above. This would only involve a length of about 150 metres. Another possibility is from about where the Rotunda was later built to the top of Mt Victoria, this would be a length of about 500 metres and a climb of about 200 metres. It's the sort of thing that would have been readily built in Switzerland, but not in Wellington.
