After the last couple of big peaks this one is small by comparison. It is also the smallest peak in this collection but still worthy of bagging.
Otanewainuku is a volcanic rocky outcrop just inland from Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty. The track begins at a carpark just off a dirt road that links Tauranga with Te Puke. Done with my father-in-law we headed into the bush and followed the track which is relatively flat for a while but then steadily gets steeper and steeper until the summit is reched. Here a wooden platform stands to allow views over the surrounding bush.
Views include the Kamai ranges, Mt Tarawera and Mt Edgecombe and of course Tauranga harbour.
Despite being a short climb it is worth including it, a nice morning's bag...
