about 1980 Te Tawa 3 of us in the roar did a big trip -you will know the area well - we went down the Waiau from Whites clearing all the way down and came out at Mangataniwha station lower Waiau - bloody decent walk - me mate took his browning Bar in .270 - bloody thing fired one shot and then would not recycle rest of trip - he had effectively a single shot - gave him a bit of stick as me clunky old 742 rem just kept going - I will never tackle that lower gorge before the farmland ever again - damn scary-
