Located in Coromandel Forest Park in the Coromandel region
Topo50 maps show tracks that have been permanently closed to prevent the spread of kauri dieback disease.
This track is an old horse-drawn tram track. It passes unusual andesitic rock formations enroute to the old camp and battery site for the Royal Standard Goldmine.
Beyond the battery site and tunnel are the Wharekirauponga Falls.
The track starts at the end of Parakawai Quarry Road, 2 km south of the Wentworth Valley near Whangamata.
