Rubicon Place – Named after the Rubicon River, a tributary of the Waimakariri River. This name continues the theme of the adjoining subdivision to the south where the street names used are those of West Coast lakes and reservoirs. Named in 2004.
I found a nearby cache before walking this street. Gilberthorpe School is on one corner and at the end there is empty land which looked as if there was a walkway but it also looked as if there was a private house further along so I didn’t go any further. Google says it is a passive reserve but the Poke stop here had the name of a reserve so very confusing. Why do modern residential streets only have a footpath on one side? Quite nice houses here. I did google our Rubicon River but it didn’t say who had named it and why.
