Tasman Place in the red zone in Burwood – The name commemorates the first trans Tasman flight from Sydney to Christchurch on 10 September 1928. Continues the aviation theme of street names in the area. First appears in street directories in 1968.
A small amount of information from the library website and I can’t add anything more about the name. Looking at street view from 2007 the houses look like typical 1960s houses and none were particularly outstanding. This street is different as there is still a house that is occupied but the rest have been demolished. I am not sure what facilities they have in their house and I personally wouldn’t feel safe as there are too many idiots roaming the red zone at night. This person has a Lyttelton connection and knows half my family.
Edited as there have been two articles in the Press in January 2024 about the person who was living in this street. Sadly the headline was lonely death in the red zone as her body was found weeks after she had died. I had met her at least twice and the first time was when I was geocaching in the area.
