Very picturesque.

We used to hunt both sides of the range many years ago
The Tamaki was easy access to plenty of side creeks - a bit of a climb and some good slips to glass - Laws Rd was also productive
When the new road went up Takapari Ridge - we changed our focus to Diggers and Centre Creek - there were plenty of deer in Diggers and the leatherleaf was so open you could walk through it
The new road produced plenty of easy deer - the fresh dirt after the dozer - was like a cattle yard

New road - up on the main ridge above Centre Creek - slightly north of the road junction

Isn’t it fun hunting in the snow - Takapari - nah - I reckon it’s a mugs game - should have stayed in bed - much warmer places to be

Up on the main ridge - a few years later on a nicer day
