Kawau Crescent in the suburb of Bromley, Christchurch

Kawau Crescent in Bromley and nothing on the library website. I checked both the old and new street information on the library website.

Luckily I found an article from 1972 where six streets are mentioned as being named after the Maori names for birds that live in the Estuary. It was a new subdivision in 1972 and I managed to walk all six streets today. Kawau means black shag.

Only ads and death notices on Papers Past. Most houses were built in the 1970s with at least three rebuilds after the earthquakes. There is an entrance to a kindergarten from this street. The houses were typical 1970s style but a two storied house looked a bit different. I did have a nice chat with a local here. She said that it is mostly a pleasant street to live on but there are occasionally a few issues. This was my last street to walk for today and it was getting rather warm for the time of the year.
