Derry Ave, in the locality of Mt NaSura, has some beautiful hill contours and an easy history to appreciate - named as it is after the vineyard Derry NaSura, whose vines gave way to many of the houses now on this route. It's a fun story to check out so follow this link for some great historical pics and more info :

In the early 1980s I had two primary school friends that lived on Derry Ave, so there's a bunch of memories to re-live while walking it, many of which involve backyard cricket. An easy walk with great views of the town centre at the southern end.
