General information
The majority of Neinei I kura Conservation Area is steep, undulating country rising to a high point of 1526 m on Cloudy Peak. There are no formed tracks in the conservation area.
In summer, very hot and dry conditions are common so make sure you carry plenty of water and have adequate protection against the sun.
Alpine conditions may be experienced at any time of the year, with the higher country being subject to snow during the winter months.
Some sections of the track may be subjected to avalanche danger in winter. The terrain is prone to low cloud, strong cold winds and deep snow; travel is not recommend during the winter months or in poor weather conditions. Be prepared.
Access
Hunting access to the Neinei i kura Conservation Area is by foot only.
Via Dry Creek and Cloudy Peak tracks
As firearms may not be carried on the Dry Creek and Cloudy Peak access tracks, permission to access the conservation land with a firearm via these access easements must be obtained from the landowner.
Via Ardgour Conservation area
Foot access via the Ardgour Conservation Area is signposted off Thomson Gorge Road at the top gate, where the road comes up from the east side of the Dunstan Range. From here walking or mountain bike access is possible, and a track leads off to Mount Kamaka in the north eastern corner of the DOC managed area.
Hunting in the Ardgour Conservation area/North Dunstan hunting block is covered by the same open hunting permit.
Landholders
The hunting block borders farmland – hunters need to be familiar with the boundaries and stay within them.
