We've been living in Greymouth nearly 2 years now and we finally got to complete this walk to the Cobden WW2 Observation Post. It took about 20 minutes in total but it was such a nice sunny Autumn day that we didn't mind the exercise.
After what seemed like 100 steps but was probably less we finally reached the top. Let's just say my legs were like jelly.
Nearly at the top in this one, sad to see someone had written some graffiti on the outside of it.
We could see one side of Cobden (a suburb) over lots of house to where the beach begins.
And over to the other side of town where the shops and river are and to the opposite side of Greymouth.
Sadder even still to see people had partied inside and sprayed more nonsensical graffiti - seems to be the norm these days doesn't it?

Beautiful views even if you did have an awful lot of steps to climb. They need to get mural painters now to cover all that graffiti.
Good idea L A.
Worth the trek to see the view
I like the rustic walls and graffiti on the wall
I'm quite partial to graffiti but it needs to have a point - either clever or visually pleasing. Otherwise it's just scribble ##WWOAT
Lovely overviews of Cobden.
Beautiful views, sadly this does not go for the lookout itself. I wonder what people drives to vandalize such a nice place...
Great views from there. There is a big difference between street art and graffiti.I dislike graffiti so much.
Still you had a great view from the top.
The old war time architecture all seems to have been treated to the 'colour spray decor'. I recall the old Armstrong disappearing gun site on Otago peninsula being like that decades ago before it was realized it was a museum piece and 'restored'.
I get very frustrated with graffiti, especially at sites of historical significance.
Thanks for sharing this great post at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2024/03/looking-forward-to-seeing-sights-like.html
...it looks like, the stairway to heaven!
Just love your view of the world
Beautiful views that made the trip worthwhile, but unartful graffiti is just an eyesore.
