hacket

Leader: Jo Kay

The Hacket River and track has undergone some shape shifting caused by the recent flood. There was  a diversion round a washout shortly before the turn off to Whispering Falls.

We had a wee look along the closed Whispering Falls track to the first bridge washout and gained a good perspective of the force of the flood by the debris strewn over the track.

At the hut we were entertained by the resident weka living under the wood shed as she ventured out to grab our lunch crumbs.

We walked over to the Browning Hut track and returned to the car park at a leisurely pace allowing us to enjoy the scenery on this lovely spring day.

Walkers on this trip were Mike Locke, Bruce
