Access via Ihaia Road, Opunake.
Description
This track follows an old road that leads up to the remnants of the old Oanui Hut, before traversing across to Waiaua Gorge Hut, where there are spectacular views up the west side of the mountain. A nice side trip is the 1 hr trip (1 way) to the Brames Falls lookout. A ladder leads down to the bottom of the gorge to cross the Waiaua River. This river is wide and prone to flooding.
