I haven't been there for some time , so possibly irrelevant.
Car security used to be a problem.
By Gorge track I assume the track that starts at the farm house. Goes past the council water intake.
If you can get permission you can follow farmland around to the Blackwater stream. it used to be good especially further up. We usually flycamped. Goats & reds.
Or go up gorge track to swing bridge before Ohau hut & go up that stream.
If your adventurish ford main river & hunt otherside.
Be aware it used to be shit bush in places & the creeks can be gorgey with waterfalls. Applies to most of Tararuas I suppose.
Good luck.
