Bay of Plenty Otanewainuku Trig and Whataroa Falls

A short, fairly easy ascent to a large trig platform through good forest – makes a good day for slower / older walkers. The walk to the falls is fairly tasking little walk on good track, which needs careful watching as there are a few turns which are not too obvious though there are plenty of orange track markers – however in places there are even more pink markers as pest eradication and hunters seem pretty active in the area. In places there is fair birdlife – robin seen several times – and the track is soft as it passes through the lush forest but some sections are a bit root infested.
