Otanewainuku - Rimu track / Whataroa Falls track

It was a crisp start on a July morning but by the time our small group started walking the sun was warm and the sunlight filtering through the canopy high above the track was entrancing.

On Saturday 13th January 14 members carpooled to Lake Okareka.
The cloud was high so the day was good for a walk.
At the end of the 2.5km walkway at the end of the Lake we had our lunch. 3 walkers passed by and went through a gate with no signage into a paddock so we followed them.

On Friday 8th December we joined the Cycle Group to have an end of year luncheon at Canton Kitchen.
