Te Araroa in Southland is a work in progress and there is still some road by-pass, which will be eliminated in due course. Most of the planned route is, however, walkable now.
There are long sections that are new and Te Araroa specific. They’ve become available following an extensive consultative process that is ongoing and has involved a multitude of land owners and public entities.
From the open tops high above the Telford Burn Te Araroa through-trampers get their first glimpse towards the south coast, still some 60 odd km distant as the crow flies, and there is further ground to walk once they finally meet the ocean at Colac Bay.
Te Araroa continues along the coast to Riverton, then to Invercargill, and finally to its southern terminus at Sterling Point, Bluff –over 3000km from where it starts at Cape Reinga in the north.
