| Awesome January trip to Hokitika, with 10 days boating on the Kakapotahi, Totara, Styx, Red Granite Creek, Taipo, Arahura, Crooked, 2-day Perth and Scone Creek. Last 7 days all at awesome high flows. RGC flows into the Mikonui near the top of the Totara road--gauge the flow at the confluence (higher would be better), then from there there's a blazed trail up the river right bank, climb to the top, follow the ridge S for 500m, descend SW when the gradient eases a bit, into a small trib. Walk out when the gradient really picks up! |
