A section of the Tiropahi (or Four Mile) Track. Following the line of an old bush tramway between a high limestone escarpment and the tea-coloured waters of the Tiropahi River, this track provides easy access through the limestone hills south of Charleston to the Alpha Creek/ Waggon Creek area. The proposed mine access road would run virtually on top of the track for almost half its length and, with around 140 heavy vehicle movements a day, would destroy the general peace and serenity of an exquisite part of the Paparoa limestone country.
