The track locations are described as being sourced from the extensive tramping experience of Chook Sutton and are described collectively as ‘Chook’s Tracks’.6 These tracks are also available as GPX GIS files, based on live records of walks. These are shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 with the tracks overlaid on an aerial photo and Topomap 1:50,000 respectively. The latter two images also show the alignment of the legal roads in the study area. These indicate the common accessway for the Corbett Road track leading from private land off 4 https://www.ohinemuri.org.nz 5 https://qgiscloud.com/Waitete/Ohinemuri_GIS/?bl=mapnik&l=Features!%2CIndustrialMunicipal!%2CWater%20races!%2CDams!%2COre%20tramways!%2CTimber%20tramways%2CECMT%20Railway!%2CH orahora%20transmission%20line!%2COld%20bridle%20or%20walking%20trails%2CChook%27s%20tracks%20waypoints! %2CChook%27s%20tracks%20tracks%2CLegal%20Roads%20HDC!%2CDoC%20Land%20Coromandel%202016!%2CDO C%20Public%20Conservation%20Areas%20NZ!%2CNZ%20Parcel%20Boundaries%20Wireframe!%2CNZ%20Topo50%20 Maps!%2CWaikato%200.5m%20Rural%20Aerial%20Photos%20(20122013)!%2CBay%20of%20Plenty%200.25m%20Rural%20Aerial%20Photos%20(2011%20- %202012)!%2Cohinemuri.org.nz&t=Ohinemuri_GIS&e=19575797%2C-4487765%2C19578159%2C-4486168 6 https://www.ohinemuri.org.nz/tracks/chooks-tracks Figure 7: Ohinemuri Chook’s Trails map with mine tunnel.
