POS-16 Hiking and Cycling Tongariro POS-16 Hiking and Cycling Tongariro Traverse Mount Doom Kia ora and welcome to New Zealand the youngest country on earth. New Zealand’s diverse and dramatic landscape draws many visitors to our shores. From fiords to rainforests, ocean beaches to volcanic cones, the relatively untouched landscape is breathtaking, but what makes the visit so special for many is the people they meet. Maori people believe in the concept of ‘Manaakitanga’ this loosely translates as ‘hospitality’ – a concept that Kiwi people have embraced as part of the New Zealand experience. Kiwis are a friendly bunch and the care, engagement and hospitality we show our guests is based on pride and a genuine belief that this country offers something of everything. New Zealand is regularly rated as one of the world’s preferred destinations not just because of its dramatic scenery, wide open spaces, extreme adventure, clean air, enticing food and wine, creativity and flair but also because of the ‘can do’ attitude. Haere Mai. Welcome and enjoy your stay. Customs and MAF requirements On arrival you will need to complete both customs and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) requirements before you can officially enter New Zealand. MAF is responsible for agriculture, horticulture and forestry, safe food, a protected environment, the wise use of the land and the creation of clean, green product. MAF protect farms and wildlife from imported pests and diseases by minimising the number of foreign pests and diseases entering New Zealand. You will be required by law to declare any food or organic material you are carrying. It is important not to ignore this as significant fines can be given to those who do.

This will include any adjustments and additional contact details crucial to your itinerary The arrangements shown in this itinerary have been made especially for you with the generous support and co-operation of Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs), Air New Zealand, accommodation and product suppliers as detailed.

Regional Tourism Operators Contact Details Visit Ruapehu Contact: Mike Smith Mobile: 0275 088 950 Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Web: www.VisitRuapehu.com POST - 3 nights/4 days: Saturday 12 Nov to Tuesday 15 Nov, 2011 Hiking and Cycling Tongariro: Traverse Mount Doom New Zealand is a world-renowned destination for hikers and cyclists. Whether on a long trek in remote wilderness or a leisurely ride through the park, there are plentiful opportunities to get out and enjoy New Zealand’s dramatic scenery and fresh air. Close to a third of the country is protected in parks and reserves and Tongariro National Park has a special place in that legacy. Established in 1887, Tongariro was a gift from local Maori who offered three volcanoes to the Crown and the people of New Zealand to celebrate the region’s beauty and spiritual heritage. The subsequent National Park, New Zealand’s first, is a land of volcanic vistas and isolated desert landscapes. At its center is the North Island’s highest peak, Mt. Ruapehu (last eruption: 2007), which served as a filming location for the Mt. Doom scenes in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Itinerary Often described as the best one-day walk in New Zealand, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing takes in much of the volcanic scenery of Tongariro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The 17-km (11.5-mile) one-way trek navigates steaming fumaroles, jagged lava flows, the Red Crater and Emerald Lakes—spectacular views abound. We’ll have time for other shorter trails in the shadow of the active volcano Mt. Ruapehu, elevation 2,797 meters (9,180 feet). We’ll also bike the Old Coach Road, the original link between the main trunk railway from north and south, a taste of the island’s railway engineering history. Along with a ride on the Fisher’s Track, the half-day cycling journeys provide a glimpse into New Zealand’s next great adventure, Nga Haerenga, the new national Cycleway that began to open in 2010. Difficulty Rating: ACTIVE Story angles: • Hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing - one of the great classic walks of New Zealand, and other hikes in Tongariro National Park. • Cycling in New Zealand - the Old Coach Road is one leg of the Ruapehu-Whanganui Trail, a 257-km (160-mile) cycling route that is part of the country’s new Cycleway currently in development. Fisher’s Track is an alternate route linking into the same trail. • Chateau Tongariro - an elegant, grand National Park lodge with excellent volcano views that has served a variety of roles through its history. • Life in an Unstable Land – geology such as volcanic processes and plate tectonics have created a spectacular landscape waiting to be explored. • The fourth national park established anywhere in the world, Tongariro is a dual World Heritage Site and home to forests, lakes, desert plateaus, and three volcanoes. • More than 50 significant bird species are found in the park, including a number of rare endemic species. • New Zealand’s scenic train routes - we’ll access the volcanic plateau aboard the Overlander Train from Wellington. Unique photography opportunities: • Volcanic scenery and vivid national park terrain. • The Old Coach Road includes abandoned, 148-foot high Hapuawhenua Viaduct spanning a gorge. • Chateau Tongariro lodge. • Unique Kiwi flora. • Did we mention abundant crater views? Components requiring some exertion: • Tongariro Crossing is a 19.4 km (12 miles), six- to seven-hour hike. Although most of the trail is not steep, the overall route requires stamina, attaining an elevation of 1,886 meters (6,190 feet) at Red Crater. Tramping through snow and ice is a possibility in November, the start of New Zealand’s summer. • Optional sidetrips on the Tongariro Crossing, if the schedule allows, take fit hikers to the symmetrical summits of Mt. Tongariro, elevation 1,967 meters (6,456 feet) or Mt. Ngauruhoe, 2,291 meters (7,519 feet)—1½ and 2 hours roundtrip, respectively. • Cycling involves gravel paths and some muddy sections. Suited for modest fitness levels, but previous mountain bike experience not necessary (brief steep sections can be walked). The Old Coach Road is 11-km (6.8 miles); the Fishers Track Ride is 17-km (10.5 miles), mostly downhill. • Additional day hikes are under 1 hours in length. List any special clothing or gear participants must bring: • Weather conditions at Tongariro are extremely variable—in November participants must be prepared for cold rain as well as blistering sun; patches of snow or ice on the trail possible. • Broken-in hiking shoes, rain gear, layers for cold weather, hat, sunglasses, sunblock, daypack.

  • Report 07-103, Passenger Express Train 200, Collision with Stationary Passenger Express Train 201, National Park, 21 March 2007
    Report 07-103, passenger express Train 200, collision with stationary passenger express Train 201, National Park, 21 March 2007 The Transport Accident Investigation Commission is an independent Crown entity established to determine the circumstances and causes of accidents and incidents with a view to avoiding similar occurrences in the future. Accordingly it is inappropriate that reports should be used to assign fault or blame or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The Commission may make recommendations to improve transport safety. The cost of implementing any recommendation must always be balanced against its benefits. Such analysis is a matter for the regulator and the industry. These reports may be reprinted in whole or in part without charge, providing acknowledgement is made to the Transport Accident Investigation Commission. Report 07-103 passenger express Train 200 collision with stationary passenger express Train 201 National Park 21 March 2007 Abstract On Wednesday 21 March 2007, passenger express Train 200 collided with the rear of stationary passenger express Train 201 during a planned setback manoeuvre at National Park when radio communication failed. One passenger travelling in the rear passenger carriage on Train 200 received a minor injury. The buffer at the rear of the train was damaged. A safety issue identified was the reliance, during the setback movement, on a single line of communication between the locomotive engineer and the train manager piloting the train from the rear carriage. Safety actions have been taken to address the safety issue.
