Glenfalloch and Lake Heron Stations are owned by Chas & Dietlind Todhunter and Philip Todhunter &
Anne Palmer respectively. They consist of approximately 10,900 and 20,000 hectares and sit at
the top of the two Gorges. A privately owned track through the stations links the Rakaia and Ashburton
Gorges. Thanks to the generosity of the station owners, 4WD enthusiasts will be able to enjoy access
through this spectacular part of the NZ high country.

The day will run as a self-drive safari which means you will be able to set your own pace, take photos at your leisure, pull over and
escape the dust, or enjoy a picnic cuppa, or even cool your feet in one of the many streams you will ford.

Cost: $100/vehicle.
4WD vehicles only.
