Getting there
We have not checked a road end or car park for this place yet, so we do not give driving directions to it. Check how to get there before you go. Some routes cross private land and need the landowner's permission.
How to get there, on doc.govt.nzThe Minchin Pass Route takes you most of the way but you then need to turn off onto Turnbull Bivouac Route across the river and up to Turnbull Bivvy.
