Is there a track from the car park into the Rokai now?
When I was a young chap I was befriended by the people who had the farm prior to the Timmins. Can’t think of their sir name, but it was 1967. Their son Murray was with NZFS culling. Anyway, I used to follow a bulldozed track over their hill to where the Rokai comes out. Used to get the odd one.

Good man. Rewarding isn't it

Top job Neckers and like namesake smashed him in the Neck.

Ya starting to look like a bushman too. Those pines on the "Cats Paw" were planted for erosion control also,they were fenced last time I was up there but that was awhile ago and the old fulla I used to work for told me the slips were grassed and fertilized years ago.

Top write up and pics. Great results

Yes there is a cut track taking you from the Tamaki carpark over the lower saddle into the bottem of the Rokai,there is a small amount of sign on track.The farm is now owned by Colin Bond so he could have bought that of them.

As good as the forest service was the "erosion control" was a gigantic fuck up in league with the release of rabbits in the south island.

Pine trees are a scourge on the landscape and IMHO forestry company's and private forest owners should have to pay to remove or spray pines on public land where previously there were none.

That will make me un popular but Its my opinion

I have no opinion on that but its a funny feeling moving thru them in the Ruahines because they seem so out of place

pinus radiata is far less invasive than pinus contorta that invades the central North Island.

Still invades the tussock like the clap invades the teens in Hamilton.

I think there's nothing more ugly than sitting in your boat on Taupo and looking at bloody pine trees, your right they should be cut down! Not to mention the shitty yellow pollen that makes the lake murky in spring, and the mess the needles make along with the poisoning of the soil, they're bloody disgusting things
