Abstract

In 1989 Bruce Mason of the Otago Peninsula Walkers identified Buskin Road as being a public road. On 4 November 1991 Dunedin City Council approved the Otago Peninsula Plan for Public Access, which confirmed that walkers and mountain-bikers had access to Buskin Road.

The Otago Peninsula is on the 1:50,000 Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) Dunedin Topographic Map 260-I44 & J44. The latest edition of this paper map is the 2002 one. It does not show Buskin Track.

When checked in April 2005, the LINZ digital 1:50,000 topographic map, NZTopoOnline, did not yet show Buskin Track.

‘Buskin Track (80114) and Others’ looks at the incomplete recording of accessways, walking tracks and tramping routes on the LINZ topographic maps of the Dunedin area in April 2005. The study also guesses on whether the findings might carry any national message.
