@Murray N There was an old skin hunters track through Murray Thompson's place straight to that basin (fruit cake gully we called it). About 1970 myself and 2 mates opened it up for meat hunting. We spent many days opening it up cutting new routes and detours and I think left a bit of a legacy. It forked at the Maungora creek. Left fork (across the creek) to the basin and straight ahead to the tussock tops looking into the Orua. On the main track to the tops we had a fly camp by a big broad leaf (that had an old slasher of ours embedded in it) where you enter the leather wood. In the end some low life cleaned our stuff out. Nowadys you can access both of those tracks from the end of Bowling road.
