Today we got up quite early because we had a booking for a cave rafting at "UnderWorld Adventures" in Charleston. It was about 20 minute drive once we got back to the main road from our Camping spot, but before we where going in to the underworld we had a few more stops in mind.
The first stop Truman Track, was just about 500 meters from Bullock Creek road where we turned on the highway. By the way it is just over 5 km from main road to the camping spot and we where driving quite slow there because of the road condition so plan your time well.
It is easy to see the sign that directs to the track and there were plenty of parking spots on the side of the road. It is about 15 minute, 700 meter hike to the beach where the view is stunning!
Truman Track is a walk through unspoiled sub-tropical forest where lots of different plants are growing. Lots of vines and nikau palms. The track emerges on a spectacular coastline with and first we saw caverns and cliffs. There had to be a blowhole but we didn't see it in action because of the low tide, but instead we found the waterfall which plummets straight onto a rock-strewn beach. The access to the beach is easy because of a stairway. We didn't know the high and low tide times, but you can find them if you follow THIS LINK! During low tide it was very easy to explore the beach and caverns where we saw some crabs in the cracks! Interesting place to visit! :)

Irimahuwhero View Point
After this beach we where heading to Charleston and on our way there we had a small, but interesting stop at Irimahuwhero View Point. Great name for a view point!! Easy to remember! :)
Well it was just a quick stop where we took some great photos. The view there is very nice. You can see the Tasman sea and the coastline of New Zealand. It looks amazing! :)
