        This short walk is a hidden gem. It follows along a stream and passes through a lovely grassy grove of huge eucalyptus trees planted by Captain James Runciman. James Runciman, a Scottish-born captain in the Waikato War, took over the 1517 acres at Newstead in the mid 1860s, establishing the Marsh Meadows farm. He travelled to the United States in 1882 to investigate cheese-making and briefly established a cheese-making factory, but closed it due to financial difficulties. He also experimented with sugar beet. Runciman donated 20 acres to establish Marsh Meadows School, which opened in 1890. It later became Newstead School. He regularly planted trees, or donated trees for school children to plant on special occasions. By 1889, he had planted 50,000 trees. Most were milled, but some were still standing by the 21st century. (wiki)
