TRUMAN TRACK - Paparoa National Park
An easy 15 minutes each way walk through lush sub-tropical rainforest to a spectacular coast. At low tide, we can explore around the base of the cliffs where we will find a waterfall that plummets from the clifftop straight onto the beach. If the tide is in, we can sit and enjoy the stunning view as we marvel at the awesome surging menace of the surf (at least until the sandflies find us).
