Orokonui Estuary Circuit Track

This is an easy walk on formed tracks and boardwalks around the estuary at the mouth of Orokonui Creek, near Waitati. The track passes through saltmarsh, coastal forest, and many areas being revegetated by a local community group. Large-scale predator control is also underway in the area. Apart from plenty of botanical interest, this is also a great bird watching locality with a fine range of wetland and forest birds. Meet 9:00am at the Botany Department to carpool, return 1 pm.
