Hunua Falls - Massey Tracks
with interesting new-found route (baitline network)

The special of today's walking is with Baitline network which is not a regular track but a network for putting baits.

Having chance to experience romote and wild environments. Thanks Eric for the guidence. 打Ruby的那兒有爛泥就往那兒沖衝 登山的那裏有難路就往那裏走 真是犯賤啊!

Walking per the purple marking. Massey Track --> Baitline (near 308) --> Wairoa Cosseys Track --> Cosseys Dam --> Cosseys Gorge Track.
