Come and join us on a walk up Gondola Hill (“Mt Collins” 433m asl) and help raise funds for the rewilding of Kaipūpū Sanctuary and Waitohi Picton.
Enjoy this unique opportunity to access this incredible local viewpoint which is not normally open to the public.
The 1hr 2.2km walk to the top is steep in places, but there are plenty of opportunities to ‘stop and enjoy the view’!
Once you are at the top you will enjoy fabulous views of Waitohi Picton, Waikawa, Queen Charlotte Sound, and of course Kaipūpū Sanctuary!
Food and drinks will be available at the top, with spot prizes and an opportunity to learn about our organisation and goals for the years ahead.
Register from 9.30 at the end of Fantail Heights, Endeavour Park Estate, Picton.
