THE SIGN OF THE BELLBIRD, on the Summit road at Kennedy’s Bush, as it was in 1931 and as it is today. Originally the building was a rest-house for trampers and tourists, but it has long been in disrepair. The weather has taken its toll of the neglected building, and vandals have engraved their names on the red stone walls.

Kennedys Bush Road in the 1850s and 1860s knew the heavy passage of bullock teams and their waggons, and the coming and going of bush workers between Halswell and bush-felling on the hills, writes GORDON OGILVIE in the second and final article about this area. The pictures, anti-clockwise from above, show the Halswell Quarry area today; Kitcheners Knoll on the skyline to the left, where the "Battle of Baisweil” was fought in 1910; the Sign of the Bellbird at Kennedys Bush in its pre-war heyday; the Summit Road being formed here; a workman’s hut during this construction: troops at the “Battle of Halswell"; Lord Kitchener (hand raised in car) returning to Christchurch at the end of the exercise; Dr Cockayne and H. G. Ell.
