Yes I remember the grove of large podocarp trees where the track down the true right of Smiths Creek turns into the track up the Tauherenikau River. At 0.53 that's Smith's Creek you are crossing. That was a wee issue with Smiths Creek Shelter 3 as trampers walking out from Tauherenikau River to Kaitoke on a very rainy day were faced with a compulsory crossing of the rain swollen Smiths Creek. Thanks I enjoyed your video!😀
Thanks. I sort of guessed the crossing would be the reason for the change of site. Shame, as the old spot is lovely, with maybe the nicest swimming hole in the Tararuas close by.
@@kogssonicvideos Did you have a go or cancel it on the drawing board? I'd be interested in what you found if you did have a crack. Haven't given up on getting there myself, although it does seem a masochistic ambition.
Well done.
Enjoy your videos - thanks

Cool vid. Ypu should explore more of the remutakas
I've had a Remutaka walk lined up for a month now, but it needs nice weather, and we haven't been getting it!

Have you found the secrete hutt just down from tutawai?
No. I might have heard of it, although there are a few hidden huts, and I might be getting mixed up on it.
@@mapalone I don't want to mention it on here. But I trust we'll meet one day and we can talk.
@@neilwade4857 Yes. there's a code about secret huts isn't there, although I see Punga Lodge is now shown on maps.
Snowy hutt needs a visit too!
@hamishglenn4900 if you don't know you don't know. I'm not advertising it on the well watched UA-cam channel
