Moanui - Kahunui-Makakoere-Tawa, Tramp and fish.

This tramp was inspired by the desire to go off track over the hill between the Kahunui hut and the Makakoere hut. There is an old forest service trail between the two on old maps. We found the trail and the route was steep, but the bush was fairly chewed out by deer so easy going for a bush bash. I enjoyed the fishing too! But the highlight was camping on a picturesque river bench in the lower Makakoere to avoid Tawa Hut. It was lovely

Nice vid Stu and Coralie. Been a few years since I climbed the burn. We used to park a car at the Moanui then travel back and wander up the Wairata towards Nikau and Koranga forks huts. Nice country.

Hi Stu. Have been enjoying watching your videos. Have you done much exploring on the other side of the gorge around the Manganuku hut and Tokenui Hut area?

Thanks for the comment. We've done a few tramos in the Eastern side of the Gorge over the years, still have a few spots we haven't been to yet too, like Savlon hut. Maybe next summer! I'll post a video if we do. Cheers
