Ngamuwahine Track
A little bit of a tribute to the caches and cachers that were here before. Cheers Kaimai Kid, Mitchlin & Geckoh.
Ngamu = Sandfly / Wahine = Woman .... a name stretching back to the Maori Tribal Wars when one of the tribes hid their women here while the men went off to battle and the women where virtualy eaten alive by sandflies.
This is a straight forward, 1hr 15min return trek through a beautiful bush setting. The cache is located near the banks of the Ngamuwahine River that you will also need to cross. You will get wet feet - and you will need to excersise appropriate judgment after heavy rain and other similar conditions. You'll be following the Ngamuwahine Track toward the Leyland O'Brien Tramway so don't get tempted by Bobs Loop or any of the other tracks you may see.
Please take it easy on the gravel road as it is windy and narrow. There's plenty of parking but the area at times can be very busy largely due to the lodge activities. You do not need to go onto any private property to do this cache. The DOC track is well used and marked. I've thought long and hard about the D/T for this cache and settled on a rating your matrix is gonna love. Have Fun.
