Sunny Day Hiking at Pūkaha this Weekend
It might have been frosty overnight, but the sun is out and it's a sunny blue sky day here! It's forecast to be this way for the entire weekend too!
Great weather to come and walk Te Arapiki o Tawhaki, our 2-hour scenic loop track. Bring a picnic lunch for the summit and once there be rewarded with snowcapped mountain vistas. You might even see wild kākā, kererū and kōkako en route which is why this walk is so highly recommended by our rangers ☀️ 🥾

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
