Bush Creek
Starting from the Arrowtown Chinese village we'll walk up Bush Creek, a side trip off the Sawpit Gully track. It's a 300 m climb over 4 km to the first lunch option, a pleasant tussock flat surrounded by beech forest, and a further 120 m climb over 1 km to the second option at the head of the valley on a saddle overlooking Speargrass Flat and the Lake Hayes basin. Group enthusiasm will inform our choice, tempered by the knowledge that the extra time taken to return from the superior viewpoint may erode our café time in Arrowtown on our return.
