It’s the start of the Heaphy Track so that road gets a lot of traffic and is in great condition. Did the Heaphy about a year ago and can confirm the road is good.

Hi Sioux
Just got back from the Rocky River about 15 minutes ago. Giving the 4500 a run. Roads are good - a few roadworks on the Takaka hill and a few before Collingwood. But did the trip back to Richmond in a bit over 2 hours. 4 hour + hike out of Rocky and I’m buggered. Me thinks you might have the right idea of park and pan.

Probably 2.5 hrs depending on how far up the valley you are going.
No just a recon of the area. No luck swinging but more just getting to know the area for a couple of days.
