A walk through farmland to see some 'cannon ball' concretions in a bush setting.
An enterprising farmer has opened his land to see some interesting rock formations accessed through a pretty farm walk. His
website gives some additional options to the short walk mentioned here. The walks starts at the top of a plateau with great views before heading down the hill.
Take careful note of the website's directions to get to the farm as it requires wending through back roads in the pretty Rangatikei.
At 2 km a small preserved patch of native bush appears in which the boulders can be found.
There's a sign explaining the geology. After a wander around the peaceful glade its back up the farm track.
Summary: 4 km return, easy but with a hill climb, may be muddy if wet
Walked: December 2017
