Did the Massey and Wairoa-Cosseys Tracks in the Hunua ranges. Took us about 40 mins to drive out to Hunua from Auckland, which is probably a bit longer than the Waitaks. Starting at Hunua Falls, the Massey track is a steep climb up. It includes a nice grove of kauris, then there’s a gentle descent to the dam. Coming back we followed the Cosseys Creek down, although the track perches very high above it. It seems like there must have been some widely read promotion of the Hunua Falls being the place to be for the one fine day of Labour weekend. There were quite a few people on the track and the carpark was full to overflowing. It was good we got out before our exit was blocked off. Enjoyed refreshing ginger beer and code spider drinks (aka float/soda) back at Michelle & Brian’s.
