You’ll find a video clip in youtube when they throw thousands of jaffas down this steep road… its a scene to behold…. Waiting for a day when there’s a big snow dump in dunedin and some students just ski or board down the slope…
The pictures really don’t do it justice… it looks like any other street in Wellington, but crikey, when you’re walking up it, you understand. A lot of streets here in Wellington (and I think it’s the same for Baldwin Street) were planned/drawn out in England, not accounting for topography, and I guess when they went to lay them down, just said “fuck it” and threw them in as designed regardless of how impractical they were.

I heard that house stubbed its toe kicking a prop helmet!
I want to ride my bike down this!
I’m struggling to picture what’s happening inside this house. Lol
I feel like you shouldn’t build houses there
Everyone on their phones lookin at this
A dude put himself in a wheelie bin and went down the hill and died a few years back
Updoot if you also tilted your head/phone to get a better look
How TF to figure out how many beers are you in at this house?

San Francisco for comparison. The buildings lean the other way because we’re in the Northern Hemisphere
The houses there are blessed with long life

Home of the shin-splint joggers?
Mitch Boyer has a cool video on riding a bike up it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvu_sdyLsIs
I knew two things about Dunedin before this post, Matt Heath lived there and something awful happened on Every street. Now it’s three.
I want to see inside this house looking out
Yet this street was no match for my mums 89 Honda Accord(stick).
Looks like Whiterock BC, Canada.
