Toitu te whenua - Care for the land

Please ensure the environment and water stay as fresh as when you arrived by:

Historic structures are unstable and unsafe. Please respect these structures and do not remove or damage anything.
Choose a circuit that suits your level of fitness, experience and the time available. Monitor your progress. Only attempt to use these tracks if you have suitable clothing and footwear.
Please do not attempt to cross streams when water is discoloured.
Beware of slippery rocks and track surfaces.
Let someone know where you are going, what you intend to do, when you will return, and when you have returned.
It is best to explore with at least two other people, one of whom should be experienced in the bush.
Cell phones often do not work in these areas.
During periods of strong winds falling trees, branches and cones make these areas dangerous.
Carry food and water for energy.
