Mavora Lakes


Monday, 21st January 2013   39 kms 9.5 hrs

Left Taipo Hut on a chilly but fine morning that soon warmed up.

The section down to Boundary Hut was slower than expected - at times easy to follow the trail ... and at times, not.

From there the trail follows a rough 4WD road with lots of water / mud "features". North Mavora Lake (picture) was spectacular when it came into view.

Met up with Hazel at the road end near the south end of the lake, and as a bonus she drove my pack through to the south end of South Mavora Lake, while I had a delightful walk down the west bank of the Mararoa River and the South Mavora Lake.

From there another hour's walk through the beech forest to my campsite for the night beside a busy little stream.
