Hinewai Reserve (Banks Peninsula) - Late 2009

Uncle Roddus Tramping Diary:Tramp No. 77
Hinewai Reserve (Banks Peninsula) - Late 2009


This was suppose to be a CTC trip up onto the tops above Wainui, on the opposite side of Akaroa harbour, but the weather wan't co-operating and so our leader lead 18 of us on a more leisurely stroll round The Hinewai Reserve, where I had been before on a much earlier club trip back in 2000. There is some lovely regenerating native bush in this valley and an impressive stand of original Totora where we had a damp lunch.  A worthwhile place to visit and on warmer days a swim in the bay is an option. I can't find any photos of this trip.
