  • Southland Trail Notes Contents
    22 October 2020 Southland trail notes Contents • Mararoa River Track • Tākitimu Track • Birchwood to Merrivale • Longwood Forest Track • Long Hilly Track • Tīhaka Beach Track • Oreti Beach Track • Invercargill to Bluff Mararoa River Track Route Trampers continuing on from the Mavora Walkway can walk south down and around the North Mavora Lake shore to the swingbridge across the Mararoa River at the lake’s outlet. From here the track is marked and sign-posted. It stays west of but proximate to the Mararoa River and then South Mavora Lake to this lake’s outlet where another swingbridge provides an alternative access point from Mavora Lakes Road. Beyond this swingbridge, the track continues down the true right side of the Mararoa River to a third and final swing bridge. Along the way a careful assessment is required: if the Mararoa River can be forded safely then Te Araroa Trampers can continue down the track on the true right side to the Kiwi Burn then either divert 1.5km to the Kiwi Burn Hut, or ford the Mararoa River and continue south on the true left bank. If the Mararoa is not fordable then Te Araroa trampers must cross the final swingbridge. Trampers can then continue down the true left bank on the riverside of the fence and, after 3km, rejoin the Te Araroa opposite the Kiwi Burn confluence. 1 Below the Kiwi Burn confluence, Te Araroa is marked with poles down the Mararoa’s true left bank. This is on the riverside of the fence all the way down to Wash Creek, some 16km distant.

From the void, through the regions of the night, through the steps of the evolution, eventually arriving at the dampness, indeed filling the pools of Rangi which overflow eventually as tears of love on Papatūānuku. In turn her bosom is filled with those tears and she disperses them evenly to everything that grows on her. We Taāngata whenua and Te Taiao Tonga have the responsibility as protectors for this treasure handed down for use in its natural state with prestige, retaining its spiritual wellbeing so that we can continue to use it safely and wisely into the future.
