Love the area thru from North Arm, Boyd, Tussock thru to Oamaru. Had many great walks. One area which held good animal numbers was from behind North Arm hut thru to Jap Creek- Oamaru, was a favorite walk.

Had a bit more of a think, the track into lower end of Tauranga -Taupo flats was "buggered" in the 1970's before Bola, was early 1980's when I flew into the Air Charter hut in Tauranga- Taupo, there was also another hut half up towards Cascade, think it was called the 'Pumice' hut.
