About this hunting block

General information

This region covers the range east of Lake Tekapo and south of Two Thumb Stream. It is part of Te Kahui Kaupeka Conservation Park. The area carries tahr and chamois.

Access

Access to the northern end of the Two Thumb Range is through public conservation land in the Macaulay Valley via North East Gorge Stream and Two Thumb Stream.

Access to the middle of the Two Thumb Range is via a courtesy track at the boundary between Mt Gerald Station and Richmond Station (north of Coal River). This is not a legal route but a track for the public to use at the goodwill of the landowners.

Another access alternative is via the Roundhill Snow Area Road. Permission is required from Richmond Station as this not a public road.
