Leader: Elizabeth Dooley

Three of us met at the Waimarama Sanctuary and walked up the Koro track, joining the stream at Ferny Flats and turning back onto “East D” track just short of Carters Creek. The track is lovely, especially along the stream, with the sound of water mingling with birdsong. The Rangiora is beginning to flower and there were Fuschia, Clematis and some orchids to be found.

We turned down Jacobs Ladder to return to the stream and walked out via the dam, going back into the Visitors Centre to look at the interesting displays available there.  We walked for about three and a half hours, but it would be easy to spend a day there criss-crossing the tracks without ever leaving the Sanctuary.

Walkers: Elizabeth Dooley, Jane Russell & Sue Matthews.
