Lees paddocks to Falling Mountain

[Lostsoul]

Planning to climb Falling Mountain by walking in through Lees Paddocks,have been as far as Reg Wadley before but looking to camp a little further in but not at Kia Ora.
Anyone know any nice spots along the river to pitch a tent past Reg Wadley Hut

I don't recall a lot of open ground beyond the flats around Wadleys, which end a bit over one km upstream. That's what, maybe four km short of the Overland?

Yes that’s what it looks like on google maps too,grassy looking areas a km or so past Reg Wadley hut.
