WEST COAST West Coast Coast West 238 © Lonelyplanetpublications the Road © Lonely Planet Publications 238 West Coast The west coast of New Zealand’s South Island is wild and free; free of development, free of crowds, free of the demands of commercialisation that tourism puts on so many other regions of the country. You can tramp almost anywhere along this coast – from the end of the Heaphy Track down to the Te Wahipounamu-Southwest New Zealand World Heritage Area – because it is almost all wilderness. The region’s main access road (SH6) hugs the Tasman Sea, and small tracts of farmland act as a buffer against the relentless regrowth of the beautiful forests. Three of the four tracks described in this chapter depart or end directly on the highway. The Inland Pack Track is a two-day tramp past intriguing limestone formations, including the Ballroom, possibly the largest rock bivvy in New Zealand. The famed Copland Track ends at SH6, but most trampers turn its western half into an overnight tramp to Welcome Flat Hut, where they spend a memorable evening soaking in the nearby hot springs. Also ending at SH6 is the Croesus Track, a two-day tramp past the intriguing remains of a gold rush and across the tussock tops of the Paparoa Range. Rounding out the tramps described here is an overnight climb to Mueller Hut in Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park, for an evening spent high among the peaks and glaciers of the Southern Alps. WEST COAST Only four tramps are included in this chapter, but look eastwards at the powerful bulk of the Southern Alps and you’ll realise that tramping is a way of life here. Just leave the road.

  • New Zealand National Climate Summary 2011: a Year of Extremes
    NIWA MEDIA RELEASE: 12 JANUARY 2012 New Zealand national climate summary 2011: A year of extremes The year 2011 will be remembered as one of extremes. Sub-tropical lows during January produced record-breaking rainfalls. The country melted under exceptional heat for the first half of February. Winter arrived extremely late – May was the warmest on record, and June was the 3 rd -warmest experienced. In contrast, two significant snowfall events in late July and mid-August affected large areas of the country. A polar blast during 24-26 July delivered a bitterly cold air mass over the country. Snowfall was heavy and to low levels over Canterbury, the Kaikoura Ranges, the Richmond, Tararua and Rimutaka Ranges, the Central Plateau, and around Mt Egmont. Brief dustings of snow were also reported in the ranges of Motueka and Northland. In mid-August, a second polar outbreak brought heavy snow to unusually low levels across eastern and alpine areas of the South Island, as well as to suburban Wellington. Snow also fell across the lower North Island, with flurries in unusual locations further north, such as Auckland and Northland. Numerous August (as well as all-time) low temperature records were broken between 14 – 17 August. And torrential rain caused a State of Emergency to be declared in Nelson on 14 December, following record- breaking rainfall, widespread flooding and land slips. Annual mean sea level pressures were much higher than usual well to the east of the North Island in 2011, producing more northeasterly winds than usual over northern and central New Zealand.

  • WEST COAST STATUS REPORT Meeting Paper for West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board
    WEST COAST STATUS REPORT Meeting Paper For West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board TITLE OF PAPER STATUS REPORT AUTHOR: Mark Davies SUBJECT: Status Report for the Board for period ending 15 April 2016 DATE: 21 April 2016 SUMMARY: This report provides information on activities throughout the West Coast since the 19 February 2016 meeting of the West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board. MARINE PLACE The Operational Plan for the West Coast Marine Reserves is progressing well. The document will be sent out for Iwi comment on during May. MONITORING The local West Coast monitoring team completed possum monitoring in the Hope and Stafford valleys. The Hope and Stafford valleys are one of the last places possums reached in New Zealand, arriving in the 1990’s. The Hope valley is treated regularly with aerial 1080, the Stafford is not treated. The aim is to keep possum numbers below 5% RTC in the Hope valley and the current monitor found an RTC of 1.3% +/- 1.2%. The Stafford valley is also measured as a non-treatment pair for the Hope valley, it had an RTC of 21.5% +/- 6.2%. Stands of dead tree fuchsia were noted in the Stafford valley, and few mistletoe were spotted. In comparison, the Hope Valley has abundant mistletoe and healthy stands of fuchsia. Mistletoe recruitment plots, FBI and 20x20m plots were measured in the Hope this year, and will be measured in the Stafford valley next year. KARAMEA PLACE Planning Resource Consents received, Regional and District Plans, Management Planning One resource consent was received for in-stream drainage works.
