The carpark you can use for access to walks on the south side of Kahurangi National Park: Mt Arthur, Salisbury Lodge, Gordon's Pyramid, and other walks and mt. bike rides. The road up is very steep and rutted, but can usually be done in a two-wheel-drive car if you are used to driving on these sorts of roads. I've seen two-wheel-drive vans and Toyota Priuses (Prii?) in this carpark, but not all drivers will be comfortable with the drive up. Before heading up to Flora Carpark, check the DOC website to see if the road is open.
