    The Rat’s Tooth / Onetai Valley

    You will need to be of good medium fitness and agile for this one, this is not a DOC marked or maintained track, it is an advanced tramping track and will require multiple stream crossings, expect wet feet, mud, and a 500-meter + height gain, approx. 6 hours. This is a track we have not done before.

    Members

    $25.00 cash please  

    Non-Members 

    $35.00 cash please

    This tramp starts at the end of Onetai East Road on private property, who the owner has generously granted us permission to cross, following the Onetai stream up on the true Right before crossing it many times, we will pass an old hauler engine, a volcanic cave, waterfalls, and then we will see if we can locate some Māori canoes, these canoes were probably used to mark tribal boundaries. Further up the valley we should hopefully get views of the Marototo and the Te Hue valleys, before we arrive for the climb to the Rat’s Tooth, for those of us who dare!

    There will be Kauri on this tramp so please make sure your boots are clean!

    You will need a good level of fitness.

    Kaimai Track Clearing and mini-Weekend Tramp to Wairere Falls - Lower Kaimai Ranges

    Start: 8.00am: Saturday, 12th October

    Depart:     Corner 6 Auburn Street & Como Street carpark, Takapuna

    Return: Sunday, 13th October

    Tents are required            

    (A)  Kaimai Track Clearing Party

    Come and support our Club's Kaimai Track Clearing Party with this FREE Weekend.   Cost of $25 for Non-Track Clearing Party to Wairere Falls. 

    As part of our Clubs commitment to support the Kaimai Ridgeway Trust’s initiative to maintain tracks in the Kaimai’s we have undertaken to clear the track from Aongatete Junction to Wairere Falls.

    • Includes a tramp in pristine river valley and forest   
    • Great comradeship                   
    • Only work as hard as you feel able
    • No pressure to finish any length of the track                                           
    • Full complement of quality tools provided
    • Good water supply
    • Safety taking seriously                                                                             

    Several previous trips undertaken by members have enabled most of the track to be cleared between the top of the Wairere Falls to the junction of the North South Track near Aongatete.

    We will clear windfall and overgrown areas noted during our last 2023 trip, near the saddle ~1 1/2 hrs from the top of Wairere Falls. We will camp out in an idyllic open area close to river, not far from the top of the saddle.

    Are you able to help on this trip?  The work is not difficult.  All you need is some good garden gloves.  The Club has a full complement of tools to tackle the job. 

    It will be an ideal time because the rain has softened the ground and enables grasses and plants to be pulled out with ease. If time permits and for those interested a trip to the historic Puketutu hut could be an option for the evening's entertainment.

    As there are no huts, tents are required (available for loan from the Club if required for current financial NSTC members).  There is an abundance of clean water available in nearby streams.

     We will travel down to the Wairere   Falls Carpark near Te Aroha on the   Saturday morning, then tramp up   the  Wairere Falls track to our idyllic   camp site ~1 1/2 hours from the top   of Wairere Falls, just below the   saddle where we will start track   clearing. We plan to return   early Sunday afternoon.

    Depart:  8.00am Sat 12th October

                   Corner 6 Auburn Street & Como Street carpark, Takapuna

    Return:    Sunday afternoon: 13th October'24

    NSTC Christmas Tramp 2024

    Mt Aspiring National Park

    Introduction

    The Christmas tramp this year will follow the same format as previous years. The dates are 27 December 2024 to 4 January 2025, and we will assemble at or before 11 am on the 27th at Queenstown Airport.  

    The general area for our tramping is the Mt Aspiring National Park in the area around Wanaka which has some of the most spectacular scenery in New Zealand. Our base camp is the Wonderland Makarora Lodge.  (wonderlandlodge.nz) 

    There is one Out Party of 8  completing the Gillespie Pass Track (also known as the Wilkin-Young track)and  a short tramp in the Matukituki Valley.

    The Out Party will be walking for between five to nine hours each day in rugged country, some of it above the bushline. Members of this party should be physically fit and well-equipped. Heavy rain would make the rivers impassible and would definitely affect our plans, in this situation a degree of flexibility would be required.

    This link provides helpful information for those considering Out Party registration. 

    Gillespie Pass Circuit - Plan My Walk

    The Home Party has a good choice of day walks ranging from Haast in the north to Wanaka and Lake Hawea in the south.

    The Out Party 1 will conclude their tramp with a jet-boat ride along the Wilkin River from Keran Forks to Makarora. Although this adds substantially to the cost ($140) it saves several hours of mundane footslogging and is itself a thrilling experience. We will conclude with a feast at the Lake Hawea Hotel (own cost) and return to Queenstown Airport on the morning of 4 January.

    Flights

    Each person should make their own arrangements for travel between Auckland and Queenstown. Air New Zealand flights depart Auckland at 6 am, 6:45, 7:55 and 9:20 am; other flights that day will arrive too late. When booking return flights for 4 January, bear in mind that the drive from Makarora will take at least two and a half hours, flights departing before noon not recommended.

    Detailed Itineraries

    Whilst we will adhere to these itineraries as far as possible, they are all subject to change depending on weather, logistics and other circumstances.

    OUT PARTY 1: Medium Fit (M/F)

    Leader; Chris Bilham

    27th.  This group will take one of the 12-seater minivans and drive via Wanaka to the Raspberry Creek carpark in the Matukituki Valley, a drive of about three hours. The group will then walk on a track across the river flats to the historic Aspiring Hut (about 2.5 hrs).

    28th.  Walk to French Ridge Hut – this will begin with a walk through beech forest, crossing several bridges, then a steep climb up to the hut at 1480m, just below the snow line (about 4 - 5 hrs).

    29th.  The group will walk back to the carpark (6 hrs), followed by a three-hours’ drive to Makarora. Spend the night in the lodge.

    30th  From the lodge a short drive north, ford the Makarora River and walk along north bank of the Young River to the Young Hut (Green ticket, 6 – 7 hrs). This hut is “first come, first served”; if it is full, we cannot camp nearby, we shall have to walk on for another hour before finding a suitable camping site.

    31st   From Young Hut cross Gillespie Pass (1600m), followed by a steep descent across snow-grass and through forest to Siberia Stream. We will camp at the junction of this stream and the Lake Crucible Track (6  hrs)

    1st      Walk up to Lake Crucible – the first part of the walk is very steep but becomes less so as we gain altitude. From the lake we retrace our steps down to our camp-site, then continue for another hour to the Siberia Hut. We don’t stay in this hut but camp nearby and use facilities (Blue ticket, 6 – 8 hrs)

    2nd      From Siberia Hut we walk to Kerin Forks Hut (2-3hrs), ford the Wilkin River and walk up the river to Jumboland Flat (3 hrs) and camp.

    3rd    We retrace our steps back to Kerin Forks (2-3 hrs), arrive around 2 pm, then by jetboat along Wilkin River to Makarora (30 minutes). Dinner at Lake Hawea, sleep in the lodge.


    HOME PARTY: Easy Medium (E/M)

    Leaders: Peter Wortman and Roger Parsons

    No detailed itinerary has been drawn up at this stage. With one van and two on most days, the group will be able to cross Haast Pass and travel to South Westland and Jacksons Bay to the north, or Wanaka and Lake Hawea in the south. There are several tracks along State Highway 6 suitable for a day-long tramp, e.g. Wills Valley, Mt Brewster, Makarora Valley, Cameron Valley, Blue Valley Tracks. See DOC pamphlets “Wanaka-Outdoor Pursuits” and “Tramping in the Makarora region” (available online).

    Equipment

    The usual equipment as listed on the club website. Two of our members who tramped in the area recently warn us that the midges are particularly fierce and advise trampers to bring a face net, and don’t skimp on the insect repellent.
