Piopio has just published two new brochures with more information on activities in the surrounding countryside, "Scenic Routes and Loop Roads" and "Hiking and Walking Tracks:"
The latter includes short walks in the area along with longer hikes in the Whareorino Conservation Area and tramping tracks in Tawarau Forest.
The former includes the drive down the Forgotten World Highway to Whangamomona, which goes through amazing country. Yet another example of how close these remote places are here in New Zealand. Whangamomona has a great old pub that adds to the adventure. John and I made the trip during our Christmas break a few years ago, and are thinking we need to do it again.
The new Piopio website should be up and running soon with this info available online as well.
