Leader: Jo Kay

This trip was a circuit from Pelorus car park, along the river to the two waterfalls then a climb to Trig K from the south and descent to the North. We were still in the time of the drought so Waterfall No.1 was more of a trickle and looked like a baby Whispering Falls. Waterfall No.2 had more pressure and ended in a lovely pool, in which nobody was game enough to swim in.
We lunched at the summit with great views in all directions.
The bush on the downward journey was truly spectacular with huge punga ferns, some majestic kahikatea and rimu. The walk from the carpark to the Trig K track is named the Tawa Track and this was a superb chance to see this lovely tree in abundance and in all stages of growth.
Members of the party were Uta Purcell, Mary Honey, Susan Sinclair and visitors Marielena Margraf, Thomas Quinn-Gregson, Marty and Suzanne Smith. Scribe and party leader was Jo Kay.
