This 1980 ha block lies on the upper western slopes of the Dunstan Mountains to the southwest of Mt Moka. This is an area of expansive high country tussock interspersed with boggy creeks and rocky outcrops.
The Bendigo Conservation Area block is restricted. You need to get a permit specifically for this block, from the DOC office.
Access
Access is off Thomson Gorge Road, accessed either from State Highway 8 at Lindis Crossing (23 km north of Cromwell), or from Matakanui near State Highway 85 at Omakau. The road through to the southern tip of the block is closed. This is because of damage on the 4WD road between Thomson Gorge Road turnoff and Mt Moka, motorised vehicles are currently unable to drive into the conservation area.
Bike and foot access is still possible.
No other access routes are available for vehicles.
