Extra Information
Ocean Grove (Tomahawk)
This is one suburb, which tends to go under either of two names. The
official designation is Ocean Grove, yet the older name of Tomahawk still
persists. This name is derived from Mā;ori (Tomo-haka), not from
the native American weapon. The suburb lies on the south (Pacific Ocean)
coast of the Otago Peninsula close to the isthmus which connects it to the
heart of the city. The suburb, which more resembles a sleepy seaside
settlement that a city suburb, is separated from the centre of Dunedin by
the rocky outcrop of Lawyers Head, a cliff promontory at the eastern end of
St Kilda Beach. The suburb lies in a small lowland area between two coastal
headlands which also contains a lagoon (Tomahawk Lagoon). One main road
runs through the suburb, winding around Andersons Bay Cemetery at the
Lawyer's Head end of the suburb, and connecting with the road which runs
along the spine of Otago Peninsula at the other end. Two abandoned coastal
gun emplacements stand on the cliffs at the eastern end of the suburb.
