In the process of making new signs, Manawa Karioi had been given new track names from the whānau at Tapu te Ranga Marae. The Tapu te Ranga Trust would like Manawa Karioi to be used and enjoyed by everyone. Wawata - To desire, yearn for, aspire or daydream: This track passes through some of the earliest plantings and shows what all of Manawa Karioi aspires to become.
