  • The Spatial Distribution of Pā in Tōtaranui/Queen Charlotte Sound, New Zealand
    The spatial distribution of pā in Tōtaranui/Queen Charlotte Sound, New Zealand A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand Tristan Wadsworth i Abstract The distribution of pā sites in the central New Zealand region of Tōtaranui/Queen Charlotte Sound is investigated to determine the relationship between pā and other Māori archaeological sites, and the influence of maritime and introduced terrestrial resources. Particular aims of research are to investigate the role of visibility as a measure of defensibility in the distribution of Tōtaranui pā, and whether this distribution is influenced by the distribution of garden sites and karaka stands, two important introduced resources often considered to influence pā distribution at national levels. Additionally, evidence for gardening activity is ambiguous in Tōtaranui, for which there is a number of archaeologically recorded garden sites but a noted absence of gardening activity in the earliest historical records. Investigation into the distribution of pā is done by comparing proximity and intervisibility of pā sites to a range of Māori archaeological site types (garden sites, karaka stands, midden sites, oven sites, other pā sites, pit sites, and terrace sites). Proximity of pā to other archaeological sites is quantitatively measured by way of cost distance analysis, and intervisibility of sites measured by way of viewshed analysis within Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Cost distances and frequency of intervisibility of pā to other archaeological sites is recorded and compared against a dataset of random points. Based on the methodology used in the analysis, neither maritime nor introduced terrestrial resources had a significant influence on the distribution of Tōtaranui pā.

  • Sounds Ecological District
    NORTH MARLBOROUGH - Significant Natural Areas Project SOUNDS ECOLOGICAL DISTRICT MAP 4 - SouNdS EcologicAl diStrict OVERVIEW The Sounds Ecological District is one of four forming the Sounds-Wellington Ecological Region. It forms the largest and central district, and includes the entire Marlborough Sounds except the very outer reaches, Croisilles Harbour and western D’Urville Island. It is a wonderfully complex labyrinth of convoluted land and waterways (“drowned valleys”), with a robust but rather benign climate. The topography includes peninsulas, headlands, steep hills, strong ridges, gullies and confined flats and inlets. There are several substantial islands within each of the two main sounds, Pelorus and Queen Charlotte, and some smaller islets. The highest point is Mt Stokes (1203m), high enough to have an alpine character. The geology is complex. In the west is Permian argillite and igneous conglomerate, with some areas of ultramafic “Mineral Belt” rocks and volcanics. In the centre is Carboniferous greywacke and argillite, and in the east is Carboniferous Marlborough schist. These are arranged in belts or strips along a NE-SW axis. D’Urville Island has only been separated from the mainland since the last glacial period. The climate has prevailing west to north-west winds with fairly frequent gales, reliable rainfall, warm summers and mild winters. Soils are steepland soils formed from the parent rocks and include fragmented solifluction debris. They are moderately fertile as a rule, but in the higher rainfall areas are leached and have infertile podzols. In the ultramafic areas, the unusual concentrations of metallic minerals creates soils that inhibit plants such as broadleaved trees and pasture grasses.

This first section outlines complimentary activities on offer directly from the Bay of Many Coves, right on your door-step and within our close environs. Kayaking – from Bay of Many Coves Kayak from our own fleet of sea kayaks. A great way to explore the sheltered bays and beautiful Sounds’ coastline. Head up into the head of the Bay to see the ‘many coves’, see the picturesque holiday homes dotted around the hills and on the foreshore, look out for little blue penguins and dolphins, birds, and seals basking on the rocks at Clay Point opposite the Bay. There are doubles and single kayaks, sea-kayaks & ‘sit-on-top’ kayaks. Guided kayaking is also available. Paddle Boarding – from Bay of Many Coves Try one of our paddle boards, another great way to explore the bays. Stand Up Paddle boarding (SUP) is a sport that everyone can enjoy, regardless of age, ability or size. The perfect whole body and core workout, SUP or “walking on water” is a very peaceful way to get out and experience nature while you’re exercising. It improves balance, co-ordination, strength & endurance, it is stress-reducing, invigorating plus it invites adventure and exploration. Clinker Dinghy – our row-boat Take a row in the restored clinker dingy is another quaint way to explore the Bay and get a good view of the property and it’s surrounds while you enjoy a little exercise. Check out the birds – cormorants (or shags) nesting on the rocks just to the left of Arthur’s Bay.
