  • FIORDLAND NATIONAL PARK 287 ( P311 ) © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely ©
    © Lonely Planet Publications 287 Fiordland National Park Fiordland National Park, the largest slice of the Te Wahipounamu-Southwest New Zealand World Heritage Area, is one of New Zealand’s finest outdoor treasures. At 12,523 sq km, Fiordland is the country’s largest park, and one of the largest in the world. It stretches from Martins Bay in the north to Te Waewae Bay in the south, and is bordered by the Tasman Sea on one side and a series of deep lakes on the other. In between are rugged ranges with sharp granite peaks and narrow valleys, 14 of New Zealand’s most beautiful fiords, and the country’s best collection of waterfalls. The rugged terrain, rainforest-like bush and abundant water have kept progress and people out of much of the park. Fiordland’s fringes are easily visited, but most of the park is impenetrable to all but the hardiest trampers, making it a true wilderness in every sense. The most intimate way to experience Fiordland is on foot. There are more than 500km of tracks, and more than 60 huts scattered along them. The most famous track in New Zealand is the Milford Track. Often labelled the ‘finest walk in the world’, the Milford is almost a pilgrimage to many Kiwis. Right from the beginning the Milford has been a highly regulated and commercial venture, and this has deterred some trampers. However, despite the high costs and the abundance of buildings on the manicured track, it’s still a wonderfully scenic tramp. There are many other tracks in Fiordland.

    HUMP RIDGE TRACK ITINERARY Situated on the south-west corner of New Zealand’s South Island, the Tuatapere Hump Ridge Track is 3-day loop walk that takes hikers along the south coast of New Zealand, up to the sub-alpine zone of the Hump Ridge, and over historic viaducts in the heart of native forest. There are commanding views of the south coast, Lake Poteriteri, Lake Hauroko and mountain ranges deep in Fiordland National Park. Walk through 13 marine coastal terraces in the Waitutu Forest, which Dr David Bellamy described as “probably the most important forest in the world”.

  • 8 Day Southern Scenic Route
    8 Day Southern Scenic Route The Journey Few New Zealand road trips rival the Southern Scenic Route for diversity. Sure, it takes in Queenstown, Milford Sound and other landmark attractions on its wiggly ‘U’ through the deep south, but it also travels to quieter corners, with hidden gems just as likely to wow you. The Southern Scenic Route website paints a comprehensive picture, but read on for a hit-list of our favourite stops (often involving home-baking). Highlights of the trip Queenstown Te Anau Milford & Doubtful Sounds Bluff Day 1 Queenstown Frequently lauded as one of the world’s best mountain resorts, Queenstown lives up to the hype with a buzzy centre and beautiful lakeside setting. It also offers a bamboozling array of activities within easy reach including hiking and cycling trails, golf courses, wineries, and iconic must-do’s such as the TSS Earnslaw lake cruise and Skyline Gondola. It’s also campervan heaven, with plenty of holiday parks and reserves near the town centre. Day 2 Queenstown to Te Anau SH6 skirts Lake Wakatipu and meets SH94 to Te Anau. Sitting prettily beside the South Island’s largest lake and boasting seasoned visitor facilities including three top-notch holiday parks, Te Anau is a great base for Fiordland adventures such as world-famous Great Walks and Milford Sound. Attractions close to town include the other-worldly Glowworm Caves, and the conservation-focused Wildlife Centre, accessible by foot or hire-bike along the view-filled Lakeside Track. Reward yourself with a Miles Better Pie. Yum. SIDE TRIP - Milford Sound Pies aside, we’ll eat our hats if you’re not totally wowed by this spectacular drive through the beautiful Eglinton Valley (campsites, sandflies) and rocky narrows around Homer Tunnel.

  • Rail Heritage Managed by the Department of Conservation West Coast „ Charming Creek Walkway, 1910-1958, Near Westport
    Prepared by Paul Mahoney, National Coordinator Rail Heritage managed by the Historic Heritage, Department of Conservation. Department of Conservation June 2007 The Department manages a diverse range of rail heritage sites that are becoming increasingly popular. In 2007 the Automobile Association asked over 20,000 New Zealanders to identify the '101 Must-Do’s for Kiwis' — places they most wanted to visit. Of all DOC's historic sites two rail heritage sites were the most popular; the Central Otago Rail Trail (14th) and the Karangahake Mines (42nd). Rail heritage sites are different from static museums and operating lines. They offer an adventure experience exploring remote and scenic trails, adding diversity to the overall rail heritage scene and providing further entry points to trigger peoples potential interest. DOC’s sites include an industrial railway focus; timber, gold, coal, and even lighthouses, and so preserve another category of rail heritage. The Department shares the expertise of its heritage program, such as the results of scientific research into materials conservation; stone, wood and metal. These 31 DOC sites are open to visitors: AucklandAuckland Kauri Timber Co tramline, 1925-40, Whangaparapara, Great Barrier Island. Route of bush tram 14km long. One of the most fantastic bush trams ever. Includes 11 sections of incline worked by winch and cable. Tramping skills required. WaikatoWaikato Billy Goat incline, 1922-25, Kauaeranga Valley, Coromandel Forest Park. Route of bush tram 5 km long. A section of track is re-laid.

  • Safe Passage for Visitors
    SAFE PASSAGE FOR VISITORS Neil Bennett Road Asset Manager, Fulton Hogan Christchurch, New Zealand Abstract Tourism is vitally important to New Zealand’s economy and in the year ended March 2014 over 2.7M visitors arrived in our country. Increasing numbers of tourists are electing to have “self-drive” holidays. In Southland there is a popular tourist route known as the Southern Scenic route, that has an unsealed loop off the sealed road that accesses the popular tourist attractions of Curio Bay and Slope Point (the southernmost point in New Zealand). This paper explains the novel use of a cell phone application, originally developed in Sweden to survey roughness, to accurately monitor driver performance, identify out of context curves particularly from the perspective of a driver who has never seen the road before and often never driven on unsealed roads. The tourists are followed by a survey vehicle through the unsealed road section, photographed every second while driving and the phone data is analysed to enable monitoring of road condition trends at different times of the year. A seal extension would reduce the problem but as a standalone project this has been unable to gain NZ Transport Agency subsidy and so was unaffordable for Council at this time. Unsealed road maintenance strategies are therefore necessary to ensure the safety of our visitors. Key Words Unsealed, Tourist, Gravel, Accident, Crash, Overseas, Self-drive Introduction centres on seeing as much of that landscape as possible in the time available. In most cases In mid-2013 Southland District Council came tourists pre-plan a geographical outline of their under significant pressure from locals about trip, including if they want to see both islands, the condition of the unsealed roads in a what the ‘North Island – South Island’ split will popular diversion off the Southern Scenic be, and some specific tourist destinations, Route through the Catlins.
