Erewhon Tce in Hillsborough – Named after Samuel Butler’s book Erewhon or Over the Range. The book is about Butler’s life on his high country station Mesopotamia. First appears in street directories in 1970.
A small amount of information from the library website. Very little information on Papers Past and in 1962 the unformed portion of Erewhon Terrace to be stopped. Same information in 1963 and 1964. In 1981 the land was rezoned from residential to rural. Sounds like the plan was for a much longer street but this didn’t happen. Only about10 properties here with a couple of houses from 1950s but rest date from 2018. Erewhon Terrace Recreation Reserve was mentioned a few times and I checked maps but can’t find a reserve. I only walked about 100 metres and then it was just driveways. Great views but a very narrow road. I had detoured slightly before meeting the walking group at the top of Rapaki Road. A bit surprised that I hadn’t already walked here as I have done Rapaki Road.
