      24.   Ohakune Old Coach Road   It’s Back

      Wednesday 26 January. Reasonable fitness required. A 14km four-hour walk. 

      Sturdy footwear, rain wear and BYO lunch, snacks and drinks. 

      New Zealanders became very excited in 1905 at the prospect of a train journey linking Auckland to Wellington - so excited that the Government built a stone-paved coach road to connect the north and south railheads. This allowed the overland journey to commence two years before the rails were joined. When trains started running in 1908 the route was abandoned. It became overgrown and forgotten until its resurrection in 2008 as a historic walking and cycle track. 

      Depart 8am. Return 5.30pm. Adult $29, Child $19
