Thread: Southern access corridor walk

Hi all

How long does the southern access corridor walk take over poronui station with a pack. I’m young and fit. Planning a couple days over the break

I looked online and it said it was about 12km to the hut so about 3 -4 hours depending on fitness levels, if it's hot take water quite exposed so I have heard.

The southern access corridor is a different track to the poronui track. Poronui to Oamaru hut 3-4 hours depending on how long you get sidetracked through poronui watching deer. No huts on the southern access corridor off desert road.

How long is that track off desert road till the huntable bush edge?
Cheers

45 mins

Which brings me to the followup question, I was looking around for an easy walk and fly camp for a night or 3 that First week of Jan as well.
Probably 2 of us.
Does anyone have a heads up on animal numbers / condition in this area. Southern Access Corridor. We would only be going 4-6km up and then hunting the slopes down to the northern boundary by the creeks.
