Had the same on the Te Tuhi track road. On the Tauranga side. Used to be open now closed.
Came back from a hunt to find punched tyre. Though hayho changed tyre and took it into get fixed to find some one had put a screwdriver through the side walls. I recon it was the guy that lived off to the left at the gate. I’d waved out when I came back (before discovering the puncher) and saw him through his had in the air and shouted something. Which I later think was f@#* off!
Then the access got closed. Latter heard that the Cops raided a drug lab and weed farm up there. Access was still closed last time I was there and you need to go the the very end of the Whakamarama road now.
If you walk over from the Waikato side there is a faded sign in the bracken that says no access. Think it’s on your right but a good 500meters down from the fork. So if your heads down looking where you want to go you will miss it and run into the unfriendly natives at the other end![]()
