Truman Track
Excellent short track for all fitness levels, 10 minutes each way.
Beautiful trees and ferns then breaks out to fantastic limestone wind and wave sculpted rock formations by the ocean.

Lake Gunn Camping Ground
Excellent and picturesque site, great for mirror images of mountains reflected in lake.
Too popular, only 10 sites, need better toilets.

Mueller Hut Route
Great track but better for fitter walkers with some experience.
Steep overall. Approx 2000 steps then unformed over rocky ground, some boulders. Views at the top most rewarding. A hard day.
