Thought this may be a walk that is not well known. My husband and I looked how to get there and decided to come in from Tihoi side. The road at the start is fine but then it turned into ruts and holes and not much signage. Would have been great to have a 4 wheel drive haha, but we finally found it. Short walk to the monument then we carried on up to Mt Titiraupenga. Goblin forest and great views at top. I’ll do again but next time I would go in different vehicle.
