KAITUNA TRACK
The Kaituna Goldfield was first worked in 1859 and continued until the late 1800s, although little gold was ever recovered. Part of the present track follows the original pack-horse track to the Kaituna goldfield. Due to the fact that this track starts in one very remote place and ends in another, many do not get the chance to walk this stunning route. This is your chance! We begin our day with a scenic drive along the shores of the Whanganui inlet and walk the track eastwards towards the Aorere Valley. A short side trip to the summit of Knuckle Hill along the way, is well worth it as the views from this point are fantastic.
