This hot spring was in the Morgan Gorge on the True Left. Approx grid reference on the NZTM 2000 maps is E1415560, N5222293. You access it from the Kiwi Flat track by walking down Anson Stream [anon] End of Allen Road near Ross.Get permission from land owner if crossing the small bit of farm to get to the kiwi flat track he gets real mad if you don\'t - we found out - we had tried to get to ivory lake. (Yelling , threating, he even wrote

- Update from Permolat as of Sept, 2011: we followed the original NZFS line from the old farm trail on the terrace up to Douglas Creek. The first part of the farm track is now obliterated by gravel flowing through the trees. The shingle fan is obviously still on the move. John Hutt & Neil Bradley who gave the track to Kiwi Flat track the trim and got permission on our behalf from P.D. Farms (thanks
Guys!), chose to mark the route you mentioned along the TL of the Waitaha and
then up an old farm road on the NE corner of the farm.Folk have the choice
of either route.
The hot pools in the Morgan Gorge are still there. Someone has been using
it recently judging by some gear that has been left down there. The little creek that provides access down from the track and the next gully
around (both of which are before Anson Creek) have both blown out again,
and are still unstable and on the move.

- Permolat are looking at this access issue and are hoping to get the Walking Access Commission involved for advocacy. DoC (Ted Brennan) is also aware of issues. In the meantime, Evans Pass might be an option and one hardy stalwart went in via the north bank and crossed over! Not usually possible, I suspect.

- This spring site is not on private property! One shortcut in can involve crossing private property though if you use the farm track at the end of the Council Road on the south bank (TL) of the Waitaha R.

was leasing this land from PD holdings Ltd. You can still get up the river without crossing the freehold land but it is not as convenient.
