Kotahi ki te rua haora tēnei hikoi āwhio, 20 meneti rānei te eke paihikara, ka kite koe i te ātaahuatanga o te whārua, ngā hiwi me te akau. Ka tīmata atu i te tiriti o Ballance ka huri kōaro, ka whai i te ara ki ngā moka ātaahua o te taone ki tēra taha o hiwi o Barker, āhua tuawhenua, te āhua noho ki te rori o Valley. Ko te nuinga o te rori o Valley te tipua e ngā rākau oke nunui taha rua o te rori, ngā pāmu huarākau me ngā pāmu.

Ka haere tonu te ara hīkoi ki tua o te hiwi o Ballance (e mōhiotia ana ko Te Hiwi o Barker) ki te rori o Massey.

Barkers Hill - Hospital Hill Circuit

Te Hītori o Te Ara

Mai i te tau 1914-1985, koianei te tūnga o te hōhipera, Gisborne's Cook Hospital, i nāianei ko Hospital Hill, engari nō te tau 1969 rā nō ka heke te wāhanga whakawhānau tamariki ki te hōhipera kei te tiriti o Ōmana.

Nō te tau 1988 ka turakina te hōhipera i runga i te hiwi. Ko te rori ki te hōhipera mai i te rori o Valley te rori haerenga mai me te putanga o ngā waka kawe tūpāpaku. I whakatūngia e ngā nēhi o Te Hōhipera o Kuki he whakamaumaharatanga i te tau 2000, te wāhanga huinga whakakotahi, he hokinga whakaaro ki te hunga kaimahi me ngā tangata o Tūranganui, ki ngā wā o te harikoa me te pourinui.

Ko ngā maramara mai o te hōhipera i pūrutoihatia ki te whārua e mōhiotia nei, ko Ngā Kāri o Tūranganui. Ko te Ara o Elizabeth Williams me te Kāri, he ara, he piriti, he ara piki ki te wāhi kai, pikiniki i hangaia e te manomano tāngata aroha ki te kaupapa. Me mihi nui ki a rātou. I te tau 2023 i katia e Te Kaunihera o Tūranganui nā te horo me te kitea o te kiripaka.
