Thread: Goats: within 2.5 - 3hrs of Auckland ??

On Pirongia, nice access points are Corcoran Road and Greys Road. Both great, interesting country. Have a poke round the bottoms of some bluffs and take care if you're near the top of them. Unlikely to get more than a couple of goats in a day, though. Allow plenty of time try to leave your car by 09:00 if it's winter.

In the Kaimais there seem to be more up towards the north end. Try up the Waitawheta valley or Waiorongomai stm but both places have lots of trampers so be on your good behaviour. Again one or two in a day will be good going if you don't have a dog.
