PERFECTION is the Pearse Resurgence
Published 2024-05-09
This valley is home to Whio (blue duck), a rare river duck endemic to New Zealand along with a crystal clear (and cold) river water, underwater caves and onga onga, a native nettle that packs a nasty sting.
This trip invovles multiple river crossings so only attempt in good weather and allow around 3-4 hours for the return trip with a bit of time to explore.

Great video and how cool to see Whio! I seriously injured my knee last year and haven’t been able to tramp so it has been great to watch your videos as I build up to it again.

An amazing river, full of wildlife, crystal clear waters and a great tramp. My friend Baz owns about 400 acres of land on the northern side of the river from the end carpark and around the curve of the river. Have spent some time up there, so clean and quiet. Pure New Zealand wilderness.

Those whio!!! ❤

Very cool. I didn't know about the resurgence or realise how significant Mt Arthur's cave networks were. Makes sense now thinking of all those chutes and potholes all over it. Incredible whio

Awesome video, where do you start this track please.

Omg Sam! I can't believe there were three Whio sitting there in the resurgence! Classic! I did this walk in March. Loved it. The forest was so beautiful as well as the river. Definitely my fave day hike of the summer. Awesome camp spot at the end there, for a wee overnighter I reckon. There definitely looked to be a track to somewhere at the top end of that clearing...Have you seen that awesome Caves book?? So fascinating 👍
