Distance: 9.5 km
Elevation:
Time: Approx 2 hours
Notes: A beautiful day for it! Loved the pest-free entrance gate/fencing, which has really had a dramatic impact on the number of birds in this park. Parked at Te Haruhi Bay car park, then did our usual trick of missing the start of the Tiri Tiri track, and having to backtrack a little to get the views on that side of the peninsula. (Must remember rule number 1 about being especially vigilant at the start of each track!!) Fabulous views of the islands in the Gulf, especially Tiri Tiri. From the lookout, we headed down to the Heritage Trail - a surprisingly shady and lush section of track with a small stream - back to the main carpark, and around back up the Heritage Trail to a junction with Lookout Track, and from there back to the car. Refreshments afterwards at the Local Cafe in Manly (http://www.localcafe.co.nz/) - delicious.
