Description

Leave from the Wainora Campsite along a well-graded metalled track, with steps and bridges across the Wainora Stream.

The track then climbs up a series of steps (over 700) with some lovely views of Table Mountain before reaching the Cookson kauri.

This is a one way walk, return to the campsite by the same track.

Getting there

The Kauaeranga Valley is east of Thames on the Coromandel Peninsula.
