Roger Sutton Boardwalk

Dennis from East Invercargill

Howdy walkers, joggers and cyclists you may or may not know the Roger Sutton Boardwalk, which completes the circuit around the estuary across from Bluff Road and Tew Road, was damaged by the storm and very strong winds last month (May 14/15th) forcing the closure of the boardwalk (see pic).
