Minaret Burn Track to Colquhouns Beach
Easter Monday, a good reason to stay close to home!
From Wanaka - Mt Aspiring Road past Glendhu Bay turn right onto West Wanaka Road, across the one lane bridge over the Matukituki River follow the road through 2 farm gates to carpark at the end of this road.
This well formed track provides easy access to beautiful beaches along Wanaka's western shore. From Homestead Bay carpark the track gently undulates towards small, sheltered Colquhouns Beach where we will have our lunch while enjoying the views over Mou Waho Island, Mt Gold, Mt Burke and surroundings.
From there we will return the same way, approx. 14 km return trip.
Please bring suitable footwear, water, lunch, rain gear, suntan lotion and sandfly repellent. For the brave and keen; bring togs & towel too!

Meeting point
Google now charges to include a map, and their instructions on getting a free API_KEY are too gobbledegooglish for me to bother. The normal meeting place is the lake front near the showgrounds, Lat:-44.6990, Lng:169.1257.
