This is an area comprising three reserves which the Opanuku Stream runs through. It covers the valley to the north of Henderson Valley Road and is only a few minutes from the main shopping area. It includes Opanuku Reserve, Henderson Park and Plummer Domain.
We follow a track alongside the stream to Border Road and then return along the walkway proper and then return to the stream track. We then walk up and around the well know Corbans winery and then back along the walkway to where we started.
The bush is absolutely fantastic.The route is level, well formed and has many small bridges.
