About this place
A walk through dense bush with lively birdsong.
The route
This track can be made into a loop by joining the Foveaux Walkway along the coast. Starting at either Stirling Point or Gunpit road, this track winds through diverse native bush passing a number of historic features including the WWII gun pit and lookout bunker. There are scenic views across Foveaux Strait to Rakiura Stewart Island and catch a glimpse of the iconic Dog Island Lighthouse. Throughout your journey you will notice the varied and lively birdsong brought back to Motupohue (Bluff Hill) by extensive continued restoration work.
