About the event
Cooks Cove is a sheltered inlet with the weather-beaten Mitre Rocks standing to the left of the entrance and Pourewa Island rising up on the right.
The track winds down through regenerating bush to the coastal flats of the cove, the hole-in-the-wall (Te Kotere o te Whenua) and the New Zealand Historic Places Trust 1966 memorial, commemorating Cook's visit.
About 6km walking. Non-club members $5, and a contribution towards car-pooling vehicle expenses
