MORAINE WALK - Westland Tai Poutini National Park
An easy walk on a slightly less civilised track than others in these parts. Moraines are the piles of rocks left behind when a glacier retreats. This easy walk reveals how quickly the plants establish here. The walk begins on land several thousand years old and crosses the AD1600 and AD1750 moraines.
