From the top of the hill Taua-Tapu turns sharply to the
north-east through private land and follows down to a gate. The
track then leaves the driveway and runs along the eastern side of
the fence to a further gate where it transfers to the west side and
approaches the trig station. At this trig station there is a view
of the Taupo Swamp, the North Island Main Trunk Railway, State
Highway One, and the bush area surrounding the Whenua Tapu
Cemetery. The track then descends to a stile and crosses back to
the east side of the fence, then down to a gate and a further
stile. Crossing the stile into another public reserve, the track
zigzags to the west and down to Airlie Road (photo shows Airlie
Road entrance to Taua Tapu Track). Motor vehicles and motorbikes
are not permitted on the walkway. Dogs and horses are permitted,
but must be kept under control and dogs must be on a leash. Please
appreciate that the ridge section of the walkway passes through
private farmland. Walkers are asked to stay close to the fences,
follow the marker posts, use the stiles, and leave the gates
closed.
