Questions and answers

Do you tell the public when cruel poisons are dropped? Do you allow neurotoxins like 1080 to be used prior to school holidays? I want to trek with my kids for our wellbeing. Which native birds are present please?

Great place to go, but check for 1080 poison through department of conservation, because they like throwing the stuff around.

Where is the starting point to hippie track?

You can either start from Collingwood or karamea. Best option is starting in Karamea as the brown hut to the perry saddle hut is a bit boring for me.

Chaffee hut where abouts in the park

It is in the Cobb Valley about an hour walk from the road end. Recently restored, originally hand built in the 50s.BUT note that the road into the valley was washed out by a cyclone late February 2018 and might be several months before it reopens, if ever
