Tinui Fundraiser

Some of our club members went along on the Tinui fundraising trip. Check out the spectacular photos from Jan and Trev:

Castle Point

We arranged a cute whare at Ohau Hunting Park on the Mataikona coastal road just North of Castle Point; this was our base for a couple of days while we joined the Tinui cross country fundraiser. We even had our own private little beach with a driftwood entry.
It was a great day with reportedly 110 vehicles, a big percentage being Land Rovers. There were three other club members present in the line-up which was nice. We traversed several large stations on what was the old bullock trails used for transporting wool etc to the coast. We were supplied with lots of history along with old photos of the bullock teams at work.
We eventually came out onto Pack Spur Road at Mataikona then continued to Castle Point Station. This was a lovely scenic coastal track through the station to Otahome Road.
Over 100 kms later, the day rounded off with a BBQ at the Tinui School.
Big miles to get there but it was well worth it.
