About the area
Kaituna wetland
Several walking tracks, a kayak trail and a wonderful viewing hide have been built so you get up close and personal with the wetland. That's something quite hard to achieve given the damp nature of wetlands and the often impenetrable vegetation. Information signs are also in place to explain some of Kaituna's special places and faces.
