Lyons Rd connector to Mangatawiri Track

Can someone tell me where this trail comes onto Lyons RD? My TOPO50 map does not have it. I keep reading that the Te Araroa comes out of the Hunuas but unless it is on the Dilworth Campus I have seen no sign of it. Thanks
Haven't walked it, but nobody else has answered. Trip notes (link below) say you go through 6km of bush. It's markered, but not a track. "The largely-bush section from the Lower Mangatawhiri Campsite is just over 6 kilometres in total, and you need good tramping skills to do it. It’s marked but not otherwise formed, and you should be careful to follow the orange triangles as there are other tracks that intersect it en route". http://www.teararoa.org.nz/auckland/hunua-ranges-track/ The TA map (link below) shows the route, but it's definitely not a track marked on the Topo maps I've looked at. http://www.teararoa.org.nz/userfiles/file/tracks/2790-File-Hunua-Ranges-Track.pdf If you have internet, try checking some of the TA blogs of those who have done it.
Found the access from Lyons Road. To head into the Hunuas or NOBO on the TA. It is to the right of the gate for Dilworth's campus. There is no parking there, so one needs to park on Lyons road before the sign saying Campus traffic only. There is no sign for it being the TA but the Mangatawhiri Track. Trail is not hard to follow.
