Waikaia Bush road (old man range)

Has any one done this track lately? Whats the condition like? Will be two vehicles my swb landcruiser with 35s and friends mwb with standard a/ts and a pto winch.

Should be fine, be very carefully with fires, no smoking outside etc at the mo as it's tinder dry.

If in the unlikely chance of rain be careful on the zigzag part of the track as it gets very slippery and lives have been lost. Stick to the track and enjoy the water holes, it's a bit of fun.

Sounds good, cheers for the advice. Is the zigzag part quite steep?

[NJV6]

No, not really, its just clay.

Last I heard was theres a dead Landrover in one of the bogs up top.. Should be fun after this bit of rain, like was said be careful on the zigzags up waikaia side.
