About

In North Island, Old tram track is an attraction on Aotea Road, Great Barrier Island / Aotea 0991, New Zealand. The track lies on Great Barrier Island, which sits off the coast of Auckland.

The website https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/auckland/places/great-barrier-island-aotea/things-to-do/tracks/tramline-track/ provides further reference for the route. Reaching Great Barrier Island requires a ferry or flight from Auckland, since the island has no road connection to the mainland.

Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so walkers should plan around the reversed calendar. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country.
