Crossing the Otaki River bridge
Maximum of 3 at a time on this bridge
The old steam engine refuses to rust away
We made a rest stop on the plateau
Always lots of roots on this track
At Waitewaewae Hut
Tim camped by the river
The Otaki River route back to Arapito Creek
The big slip
Beside the Waitatapia Stream
I think they're looking for eels
Approaching Otaki Forks
Patrick well hidden amongst the mosses
