Join us on a nature walk through the breathtaking Halswell Quarry, which is now as a passive recreation reserve, wildlife habitat and an educational resource. The strikingly sculptural and geologically interesting rock faces of the quarry were retained. A huge planting programme was undertaken with over 250,000 trees and shrubs planted. The quarry was first worked in the 1860’s and produced a fine and distinctive blue-grey stone which can be seen in many of the city’s prominent buildings including the Canterbury Museum, Provincial Council Chambers and the old Sydenham Post Office. In 1865 a wooden tramline was built for eleven kilometres from the quarry to Spreydon, but it was abandoned eight years later. In 1890 the first crushing plant was installed and the crater you see today began to appear. Output from the quarry increased dramatically for a while, but by 1925 the quarry was almost bankrupt again. Then the Christchurch City Council bought the quarry, restored its productivity and ran it successfully until 1990 when the reserve of usable rock was exhausted. Despite the high cost of carting rock to the city, the Halswell Quarry had a long life of 130 years and is believed to have been the oldest, continually operating quarry in Australasia.
