Was up there last Sunday and remember the crosses when I was a child it’s lovely to see them refreshed and painted I meant to take a photo because some one had placed flowers - there

I used to go deer stalking up the Mokinhui River some 60 years ago. There were two wooden crosses on the track at the large slip where they were buried. The Ghost Road track goes past where they died.
