Destination: DINGLEBURN TRACK, eastern shore of Lake Hawea
Meet at the lakefront as usual at 9.30 am
On the main road to Lake Hawea take Camp Hill Rd to the right, go to the end and turn left into Gladstone Rd, follow to John's Creek.
We follow the dirt road along the eastern shore of Lake Hawea to the D.O.C. carpark ….
40 kms from Wanaka, 8 kms north of Timaru Creek. There's a toilet and info board at the carpark on the right hand side of the road which is where our walk will start.
This is an easy lakeside walk on a 4WD track to Silver Island Bay, approx. 13 km return.
The track is mostly flat with a few minor hills and fabulous views of the lake and mountains. We will have lunch at Silver Island Bay, bring some sandfly repellent.
FORDS ………. There are several fords we cross so take extra care if you are in an ordinary car, preferably we will use 4 WD's .
The forecast is looking superb!
A coffee, tea or icecream on our way back at the Lake Hawea shop-café is an optional extra on the menu …..

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.
