"Walked up after rain. The somewhat neglected track was greasy but easy to follow. Enjoyed the rain forest with some good form podocarp trees, rata and hinau to keep this ex forester interested on the way to the summit. The bird life wasn't strong but there were plenty of grey warblers and a few wood pigeons about. Wild pig and goat sign was evident but I didn't sight any this trip. This area has lots of lime stone sink holes and caves. On the way down I detoured and looked at some caves. Most were too wet for me to be bothered entering! " — glennj • Sep 22, 2017
"Had a great trip up Kakawau peak today. It was a tad muddy after the recent rain and took about 3hrs getting up, but overall a great day walk, with a few friendly wekas saying hello.

"N. Bradley & I walked up the track to the top & also climbed the radio mast for extra views out over the bush. Saw wild goats & wild pig sign, limestone sink holes & some old gold workings.
