Moumoukai Maunga, Mōrere

Join the Gisborne Canoe and Tramping Club for walk, starting part way down the Mōrere Hill at Mangatoto Station. The group will walk along a sidling and

gently climbing track leading to a lime quarry before climbing 250m to the summit of Moumoukai (612m), on Moumoukai Station. This is a prominent hill with rock outcrops above the Nūhaka River overlooking the Mōrere - Nūhaka area. Mangatoto and Moumoukai Stations have recently been planted in Pinus radiata. Logic Forest Solutions manages the forest on behalf of the station owners. The group might even stop for a hot soak at Mōrere after the walk, as the hot springs are expected to reopen in January.

Difficulty level = Moderate

The group leave at 9:00 am. End times are approximate. The cost is $15. For more information, contact Gillian at 867 4591 or 027 645 6880 or by email -- grass.hopper@xtra.co.nz
