A short, but sweet walk, the Claremont Bush track allows you to take your time and enjoy the native bush and bird life. Keep an eye out for bellbirds (korimako), fantails (piwakawaka) and a rare native climbing daisy with bright yellow flowers. Start next to the sign, walk through the macrocarpa plantation and over the footbridge into the bush. The track then moves into a variety of native plants. Claremont Bush is a circular track with a steep climb up one side and a sharp drop on the other, which can be slippery when wet. Getting there To get there, at the Holme Station Road/Beaconsfield Flat Road intersection turn on to Claremont Bush Road which is loose gravel. The bush track is a further two kms down the gravel road.
