Summary points about this walk
Points of interest along the walk
Point 1: St Bathans
There is only a pub there and no shop. we heard so much about St Bathans we had to take the long way around to Ranfurly.
It was a little disappointing after calling into other gold mining towns in the south Island. there was no craft shops ECT
