Megan walking back to the carpark at the end of Manakau North Road. This is the departure point for the track to Mount Thompson and the short walk to the stream.
At the end of the wee track heading south from the carpark at the end of Manakau North Road there is a stream. It makes a great picnic spot after the Panatawaewae Ridge walk. It is also the spot where the alternative route down from the Panetawaewae Ridge ends.
This downstream view of Pippa and Megan lunching shows the wee Waikawa stream before it becomes river.

At the end of the wee track heading south from the carpark at the end of Manakau North Road there is a stream. It is a Y junction and one arm is the one you could follow down from Panatawaewae Ridge (we didn't do this route). So for future reference, this is the view standing at the join of the Y intersection looking across the main, downward flowing arm. The 2 contributiong streams join and flow downstream to Waikawa Reserve, Waikawa River etc.
