In from Iron Gates carpark, up and over Tunupo trig, then via the Ngamoko range to Iron Gates Hut. (7hrs) The weather was amazing, extremely hot, with huge thunderstorms over Dannievirke and clear air just to the west of the ridge tops.. We walked the transition zone between awesome and terrifying weather.. ;0)
Next day, a lovely stroll down the gorgeous middle reaches of the Oroua River. We saw a pair of Whio (Blue Duck), several small Trout and two MASSIVE Eels as well as some delightful pools and gorge sections.
