Description |
A popular walk following sections of Twelve Mile Creek through red beech, then climbing through mountain beech and mānuka. Good views of Lake Dispute and glimpses of Lake Wakatipu, and lots of remains of ther old gold workings to look out for. Watch out, also, for the iconic Sam Summer's Hut; from near that, a side-track leads to an impressive rock tunnel once used as a tail race. |
