We will walk from the suspension bridge over the Hawea River to Hawea, along the Hawea River Track. This is 11km of mostly flat walking.

We'll start from the Big Fruit carpark in Cromwell and walk 3.5 km along the roadside to the lookout, where a formed ground trail leads up to the reservoir site and beyond to a lookout and possible lunch spot. We'll then return to SH8 via a different route and retrace our steps to the cars.

Monday's Walk 15th July 2024

Destination: Bannockburn loop

Description: An 11 km loop starting and finishing at the Bannockburn goldfields carpark on Felton Road. We'll start by following the cycle track along Felton Road to the Bannockburn Bridge and the Carrick Winery, retrace our steps to the Bannockburn Arm picnic area and return via the Bannockburn goldfields and Stewart Town. Total walking time should be about three hours, with lunch at either Carrick or Bannockburn Arm depending on our timing. We do not expect any respite from the temperature inversions which have squatted over Wanaka and Cromwell for the last four days so please dress accordingly and bring a hot thermos! Petrol donation $10 per person.
