Thread: Mohakatino rd

Anyone hunted here or have any interesting to say about it?
Staying at a mates place in a few weeks and thinking of taking my sea kayak and paddling up the river into the public land in search of a goat and with any luck floating back down
Anyone know if the river is slow moving enough for that or am I better to just walk it?
Cheers
Halloween Pic just for the hell of it
I'll tell the Mrs she's being hunted by the spca for animal abuse

Those two look like they have just woken up after a stag party and are like just happened!

Went up the Northern side (up the Mokau R) a few years ago in the sea kayak. Yes its doable. Got up past the first two rapids by staying hard over to one side then the arms ran out of puff. Plenty of goats about, but that may have changed. Stayed overnight on the banks just down from an old abandoned shearing shed. Enormous thing, 27 stand or some such. Shearers names scratched onto the rafters from the 20's and 30's. One or two creeks in the locality run out on top of an entire coal seam. Quite an interesting place to explore.

But once you get away from the river, its "what's not verticle is overhang" country
