wester Henderson from the carpark by the bridge. it hooks in close to the farm edge on way up as well

If there is plenty of rain avoid the other way, there are a couple of river crossings that can get real serious real quick
It's worth walking the loop at least once to have a look around.

we got to the car park at 5 am noticed a bit of old sign at the first clearing but decided to push on and try and get a feel for the place, left the trail aprox 1 km up the north/south track found a area about 500m west of the track that showed heaps of old sign and some very recent stuff, stalked for about an hour as the sun was now up, no luck so we found a spot up wind and stayed still for around half an hour , could hear a deer barking and it sounded close so started stalking again, no luck .
The kaimais deserve the rep as a hard place to stalk, very hard to be quiet.
so the first trip was not a success but i am now determined to beat the place, will try again after the roar.

@muka88 good one just keep going back to the same place. And take notes time date weather you will then build up a picture of when the animals are in the area. If you heard one cool your on the right track. Remember it took me three years to get one out of there. If I'd stayed in the same spot instead of always trying some place new I'd have halved that time easily.

Never had any problems parking there, Like queen st during the roar. Plenty of deer through out. Really shity bush but with some nice hidden tracks that you can stumble apon. Hows ya bush stalking skills ?

stalking skills a work in progress
