I did this on the very first trip in to Oamaru in summer leaving Auckland early morning and walking through Poronui. Turned back at dark from swing bridge after spooking a hind and yearling. I was a tired lad on arrival back to the hut.

Was also the same day a Helisika chopper crashed near us, and my mate reckons he heard the blades hitting the trees (sounded like rapid gunshots).
