If you are going all the way to end, there are a few small fords to cross. The first is usually the biggest and the others after this may be dry depending on the weather. If it is raining heavily or has been the day before I would suggest you check with the Dept of Conservation in Wanaka for the latest road condition. Having said that, the road is usually fine if driven with care. Regards John Hi Bernard

Could you tell me whether the Mt Aspiring road (going to Rob Roy glacier track) is a public road or a private one.

If so approx times from Wanaka to Waterfall Bay, Waterfall Bay to the last road exit (Name of Road?) and finally from there to Glendhu Bay. My wife and I are leading a tour in February which will walk part or all this track, depending on times and conditions. They will not be fast walkers as they will want to stop and admire the scenery as well as take numerous photogaphs. Thank you Tony Millson Greetings,
