North Ohau is a really nice hut up a gorge and when the weather is hot and the water shallow it is an excellent place to relax. The first day of autumn and my first autumn tramp for the year. Still summer weather. Got dropped off at Poads Road on Friday evening and walked up the river to North Ohau hut. A very dry track and shallow river.
On Saturday after a realxing morning went up river to check out the waterfall. Only went as far as the slot like pools.
More of the spiders, this one shot into the water as I approached.
Disturbed a hind beside the creek and she stood in the middle for about a minute untill I used the zoom on my camera. She bolted and I got no photo. Back at the hut two more trampers had arrived, Steve and Jessie from Upper Hutt. Had lots of good tramping discussions.
Sunday was an easy wander out, left after lunch and got to Poads Road for pickup.
