Hereweka Harbour Cone Trust member Fiona Harrison said the hike, which combined self-guided walking around the Harbour Cone area with interpretive signs and presentations by trustees, had been a popular annual event for the past 10 years. Mrs Harrison said the Hereweka Harbour Cone Trust allocated $3000 each year for restoration of the stone walls and this work was ongoing. The full hike, including a visit to Larnach’s Byre and climbing Harbour Cone, was about 7km.
