Join us for a heritage walk and talk down the old coach road, one of nz's most significant examples of roading engineering heritage.
The Old Coach Road provided a link between the two railways stretching from the North and South of Te Ika a Māui from 1886, until the two railheads were finally linked in 1908. Walking the 13km from Horopito to Ohakune, we will pass the Hāpuawhenua Viaduct and learn about the heritage which has helped shaped the region over the past 100 years.
