A five-stop walk from Mermaid Waters toward Q Center that threads local history through what you can still feel underfoot: wetlands remade as canals, civic life taking shape, and the quieter afterlife of a planned suburb.

Five short walks through Dee Why’s built edges: subdivision lines, a family shop, a library before the mall, a care institution, and a sewing floor. Local history stays close to the ground, with the older presence of Country kept in view.

A foothill walk through North Tustin where old route-finding, citrus labor, Red Hill, and neighborhood land fights sharpen the beauty of views and sunsets into something more lasting than scenery.

A walk through Rushcutters Bay where grass, path, and waterline reveal older uses of the shore: a buried creek, reclaimed edges, drill ground, cable machinery, and the wetland memory still shaping this beautiful coastal park.
Five audio-guided stops linking Mermaid Waters canals, parks, and coastline.

This is the second episode.
The history of the ranches, bay and beach of Refugio, and the Ortegas north of Santa Barbara.

The island famous for its Pearl harbor, waikiki and Duke Kahanamoku, Diamond Head and the famed North Shore for its surfing history, still being written. Oahu houses around one million people of the island or "hui" and that is over 70% of the population of the hawaiian islands combined. She is 44 miles across from east to west and about 30 miles between her southern shores and the famed northern ones. Honolulu is the capitol of the island chain and has been for most of the time since Kamehameha 1 brought the islands together and stopped the bloodshed between warring island chiefs. While he kept his ancestral home in Kona on the big island and spent part of his monarchy in Lahaina on Maui, most of his time was spent here in Honolulu which had the most active port in the chain.
