Have seen them on the #2 road heading up to Mountain Road so must be there somewhere Parking at the carpark is sweet. My suggestion would be to head down the other track (forget the name) its across the road from the Otanewainuku track (same carpark).
I park my truck up Manoeka Road all the time and touch wood have had no issues. Normal things of leaving nothing of value or visible of course.
Another way is via Quarry road and walk across the top of the Papamoa hill, you can then pop into the guts etc on the eastern side to check the streams etc.
Date dependant I could be keen or help out with parking and maybe drop ya off?

Just waiting on the boss to see what hours i have this week, if i dont have any over the next few days ill head down tonight and crash in the car with a sleeping bag and get into it in the morning or in the weekend if i do have work. Cheers for the advice.
