Outram West Taieri CAVALCADE Outram West Taieri 21st – 28th February 2 0 1 5 Outram has a long history with the gold rush to Central Otago. Outram was the last place to stock up on supplies before heading for Clarkes junction and onto the ‘Dunstan Trail’ which was the preferred route for those in a hurry! “Outram is one of the finest and healthiest places in New Zealand, and is a favourite resort for excursionists from Dunedin…” “There is also a recreation ground of about six acres planted with macrocarpa trees for shelter and with a well laid cycle track!” “The board is free from debt. The cost of the work was paid out of the fees obtained from licensing the sale of whisky, etc.” “At the time of the Dunstan “rush,” the armed escort had quarters at Outram.” Taken from THE CYCLOPEDIA OF NEW ZEALAND 1909.

We will pass through the small coastal townships of Brighton and Ocean View before climbing from the sea to Saddle Hill which is well known locally as a unique land mark in Otago. The views of the Taieri Plains and towards the city of Dunedin are well worth the afternoon climb. At the end of our day’s walk we will bus to Traquair Station on the Maungatuas. Friday: The open spaces and tussock clad country of the Maungatuas. Today we make our way across the tops into Lee Stream and on into Outram.

August 2010 MECHANICS OF FOLDING IN CENTRAL OTAGO An investigation of the Recent deformation of the Rock and Pillar Range. Gillian Greta Salton A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Science University of Otago 1993 ABSTRACT Cenozoic deformation of the Central Otago Range and Basin province has been investigated to determine the mechanism of range formation. Mapping in the Rock and Pillar Range revealed macroscopic folds in schistosity which correspond in shape and size to the ranges, suggesting topography is controlled by folding of the schist. This congruence has also been documented in the Raggedy Range, further to the west. The role of the Hyde Fault in uplift of the Rock and Pillar Range has been investigated. Available evidence suggests there is no large throw across the fault and that faulting is subordinate to folding in the formation of the range. Thus the Central Otago ranges are interpreted as macroscopic folds of the upper crust.

  • Report on the Surface Water Quality of the Upper Taieri River Catchment, November 2001 to December 2002
    Report on the Surface Water Quality of the Upper Taieri River Catchment, November 2001 to December 2002 March 2003 . Report on the Surface Water Quality of the Upper Taieri River Catchment, November 2001 to December 2002 ISBN 1-877265-30-6 March 2003 Front cover: Children swimming in the Taieri River at Creamery Road Report on the Surface Water Quality of the Upper Taieri River Catchment, Nov 2001-Dec 2002 i Chairperson’s Foreword The Taieri River originates in the rolling tussock tops of the Lammermoor and Lammerlaw Ranges in Central Otago. It then flows on through the Styx and Maniototo Basins, west of the Rock and Pillar Range. The large scroll plains on the Maniototo and associated wetlands and oxbows are important features of the upper Taieri River catchment. Water quality in the upper Taieri River catchment has been monitored for the last nine years as part of the Otago Regional Council’s state of the environment monitoring programme. Signs of deterioration were observed and so between November 2001 and December 2002 more intensive monitoring was carried out. This report summarises the results of that monitoring. The monitoring confirmed some degradation of water quality compared to what is normally expected for a river draining an agricultural catchment. A number of issues including stock in water, bank erosion and irrigation and effluent run-off have been identified as contributing to the deteriorating water quality. The Council intends working with the local community through the Upper Taieri Catchment Programme to develop ways of improving the situation. This report forms a scientific basis to start from as we head towards improving the water quality in this valuable river.

  • A Pack on My Back to Patearoa
    A Pack on My Back to Patearoa - Walking Trail Trail Boss : Steve Clark ph 03 445 0920email : [email protected] Duration : 6 days, Monday 24 February 2020 to Saturday 29 February 2020 Party size : 12 maximum This 6 day, 103km walk takes in the historic Serpentine Diggings before crossing the Taeri River to Paerau and the Rock and Pillar Range. From the Loganburn Reservoir we will follow the ridge of the Rock and Pillar Range before dropping down to the historic Hamilton Diggings. On our final day we will walk into Patearoa to join the other Cavalcade trails for the grand parade. While there will be a number of ascents and descents, the elevation gains will be considerably less than we experienced in 2019 on the Pisa Mountains. The first day will involve a climb from 570m ASL to the Serpentine Diggings at 1,030m ASL before dropping down to the Serpentine Flat and Paerau School at 560m ASL. The highest point on the Rock and Pillar Range is Summit Rock at 1450m ASL, while Hamilton’s Diggings are at 640m ASL. We should have plenty of time to explore the old gold diggings, tailings and water races at Serpentine and Hamiltons. Weather permitting there will be fabulous vistas of the Upper Taieri Valley, Strath Taieri and the Maniatoto. The trail finishes on Saturday walking to Patearoa for the Grand Parade. This trail is for fit, experienced trampers who must be capable of carrying up to 16 - 18 kg for up to 28 km per day over rough farm tracks with some steep ascents and descents.

  • Waipiata Community Plan
    Waipiata Community Plan April 2008 Waipiata Community Plan Executive Summary Process This Community Plan has emerged from a consultative process designed to encourage community participation. Emphasis has been placed on obtaining community views regarding the Waipiata area, identifying its points of difference and determining what opportunities there might be to ensure that it remains an attractive and desirable place in which to live, work and play. This Plan has distilled the individual opinions into a collective community vision and proposes a number of key recommendations that will assist in the development of Waipiata as a sustainable community. While the Plan has no legal status, it does provide an important insight on the direction the community would like to head for many of the organisations involved or identified in it. To this end having a community group to oversee the aims of this Plan, on behalf of the community, will be important and help to drive many of its recommendations. It should be noted that there are community plans for the Maniototo, Naseby and Patearoa and Upper Taieri which need to be considered in conjunction with this Plan when looking at the Maniototo as a whole. In defining the Waipiata community, the Plan also acknowledges that there is a wider community including both private individuals and national organisations which for historical, ancestral and heritage reasons consider themselves to hold an interest in the future of this area. This plan provides a framework from which further activities and actions can be developed and this may see a possible broadening of the scope of the plan in the future.

  • The Taieri Snapshot This Snapshot Summarises What ORC Knows About the Taieri, to Help Create a Vision for Its Freshwater
    The Taieri Snapshot This snapshot summarises what ORC knows about the Taieri, to help create a vision for its freshwater. The Taieri FMU extends from Naseby down to Mosgiel, encompassing most notably the Taieri scroll plains, Taieri River, Kyeburn tributary, Lake Mahinerangi and Lake Waipori. Brief history Historically, European settlers used the Maniototo land for livestock as early as the 1850s, while the gold rush saw significant economic growth around Waipiata and Kye Burn in the 1860s. Post the 1860s Otago Gold Rush the primary economic drivers changed from gold to pastoral farming, which has now become the main economic driver in the Taieri FMU. Of which water is an important component. Macraes Flat, an extensive open-faced gold mine, still operates presently. Mosgiel is the largest settlement situated at the very bottom of the Taieri, with a population of just over 13,000, followed by Ranfurly and Naseby in the upper Taieri. Much smaller settlements such as Tiroiti, Middlemarch and Waipiata have benefited from the tourism associated with the Otago Rail Trail cycling track and Gold mining heritage. Flooding has been a historical pressure from the 1800s to present day, and while engineering has significantly reduced the impacts of flooding there is still risk. Kāi Tahu used all areas of the Taieri catchment, with numerous mahika kai sites and settlements associated with the many waterways, lakes and wetlands in the Upper Taieri, the Strath Taieri and the Lower Taieri Plains. Many of these waterways have been modified, or in the case of Taieri Lake lost, as a result of resource use and development.
