New Zealand: Gardens & Landscapes NEW ZEALAND: GARDENS & LANDSCAPES 29 October – 19 November 2021 FROM £9,780 PER PERSON Tour Leader: Antonia Lloyd Owen The tour has been designed by Antonia Lloyd Owen, focussing on a selection of the glorious gardens New Zealand has to offer. Meet the garden owners and be inspired and informed by their garden creations, many influenced by the distinct and contrasting local flora and geology. Our tour starts on the North Island in Auckland, the largest urban city in New Zealand which lies across an 11-kilometre-wide volcanic isthmus separating two harbours – the Waitemata and Manukau. From here we take a day trip to the beautiful, tranquil island of Waiheke with its stunning scenery, beautiful beaches and charming main town of Oneroa, full of art and crafts shops. We then visit Rotorua, located on the shores of Lake Rotorua in the Bay of Plenty region, known for its geothermal activity, geysers and hot mud pools and an important centre in Maori history and culture. New Plymouth is our base from which to explore the open gardens of the Taranaki Flower Festival, an annual event which showcases the many fine gardens in an area of unusual geology and a distinctive microclimate created by Mount Egmont, also known as Mount Taranaki. Our last stop on North island is Wellington, the cosmopolitan capital, nestled between a harbour and forest clad hills with national treasures, galleries and museums and renowned Botanical Gardens dedicated solely to native plants and a haven for native birds. The journey across the Cook Strait, which connects New Zealand’s North and South Islands, is one of the most scenic in the world and takes us to the seaside settlement of Kaikoura on the rugged east coast of the South Island, overlooked by snow-capped mountains and the waters off its shores a rich habitat for marine mammals and seabirds. Our next stop is Christchurch on the banks of the Avon River, bordered by hills and the Pacific Ocean, and situated on the edge of the Canterbury plains stretching to the Southern Alps. From here we take the TransAlpine train to Arthur’s Pass. The train climbs to more than 2,953 feet through Arthur’s Pass National Park, the highest and most spectacular pass across the Southern Alps which affords stunning scenic views en route. We continue to Dunedin, a historic, university town that stretches around a sheltered harbour. The city features Victorian and Edwardian architecture and the nearby Otago Peninsula is home to the impressive Larnach Castle. We end our journey in Queenstown, located on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, overlooked by the majestic Southern Alps. The city is known for its pure alpine air, stunning views across snow-capped mountains, and crystal-clear lakes. A real highlight will be a cruise on Milford Sound, the star of Fiordland National Park. Carved ten miles inland by a succession of glaciers, it was described by Rudyard Kipling as the ‘eighth wonder of the world’. The fiord’s cliffs rise vertically from the dark waters, mountain peaks scrape the sky, waterfalls cascade hundreds of feet to the salt water below, and above it all Mitre Peak stands sentinel at an elevation of 5,540 feet.

  • The Best of New Zealand
    1 The Best of New Zealand Back in 1979, New Zealand cartoonist and satirist Tom Scott, writing in NZ Listener magazine, had this to say about New Zealand: “Terrible tragedy in the South Seas. Three million people trapped alive.” The big news in 2003 was that we hit the four million population mark, and more than half of that increase was due to immigration. (By 2009, that number climbed to 4.3 million.) Given that we have around 44 million sheep, one New Zealander still equates to a whole lot of fresh lamb. Look beyond the farm gate, though, and you’ll find we’ve caught up with the rest of the world. We may bob about at the bottom of the Southern Hemisphere, but it would be unfair to consider the country a backwater. New Zealand continues to notch up big gains in tourism, welcoming more than two million visitors a year, despite international upheavals like terrorist attacks, flu epidemics, and economic downturns. Tourism is our largest source of overseas income. International visitors contribute NZ$8.3 billion to the economy each year and the tourism sector at large contributes NZ$19 billion to the country’s economy annually. One in every 10 New Zealanders now works in the tourism industry. And we’re better equipped for tour- ists than ever. Efficient visitor centers abound, with accommodations ranging from budget to exclusive. You can shop 7 days a week, whoop it up at clubs and bars 24 hours a day, or savor a glass of internationally recognized New Zealand wine in an inexpensive cafe.

  • As the Nzski CEO James Coddington Looked out Over the Spectacular Vista Afforded by the Remarkables
    NZSki “Life As It Ought To Be” As the NZSki CEO James Coddington looked out over the spectacular vista afforded by the Remarkables mountain range - taking in the New Zealand tourist hub of Queenstown - he contemplated the future for his company. “We’re at a tipping point,” he suggested, “things could go either way. We’ve been gradually building momentum over the last few years. But we have to keep moving forward. We certainly have room to cope with more skiers, but if all we do is get more skiers on the mountains we will actually reduce the customer experience from what it is now. That will mean less skiers in the future, a weakened brand, and the undoing of a lot of good work over the last few years.” Figure 1: New Zealand’s Ski Areas NZSki operated 3 skifields – Coronet Peak and the Remarkables in Queenstown and Mount Hutt in Canterbury. Recent growth since Coddington’s appointment in 2007 has been spectacular. The 2009 season was the most successful season on record. As a company, skier/rider numbers were up 29% over 2008 and revenue was up 22% - despite the economic recession. “When I began we were getting 180,000 – 200,000 people a year on Coronet Peak, but now we’re at 330,000. The biggest single day in 2007 saw around 4000 people, but this year we had 7777 people in one day. With our old infrastructure we simply couldn’t have coped – but the completely rebuilt base building, and completion of the snowmaking system and our investments in lift and pass technology have paid huge dividends in protecting the experience.

  • New Zealand 2008 - 2009
    KESTER BROWN New Zealand 2008 - 2009 his report covers developments in the New Zealand mountains from TMay 2008 to June 2009. The Darran Mountains in Fiordland National Park continue to be New Zealand’s pre-eminent destination for alpine rock development. Richard Thompson, Dave Vass and Richard Turner furthered their contribution to a wealth of new routes in the Central Darrans with a second line on Patuki’s north face. The route is six pitches, grade 20 and unnamed. Two very high quality new routes were added to the north face of Mt Moir. Nick Craddock, Murray Ball and Milo Gilmore completed a six-pitch climb, named Vindication, grade 25, on the right hand side of the face. Sarah Adcock and Kester Brown finished off an old aid route in the middle of the face, adding three pitches to what is now an all-free route: El Braveth goes at grade 25. Ian Brown and Tom Williams made the probable first ascent of the north-east ridge of Mt Madeleine in February over two days. The pair encountered fresh snow and rock gendarmes that made for difficult travel on the upper ridge. They bivvied at 1400m and thought the route would be about grade 3 on the Mt Cook scale. The Mt Aspiring Region whilst eternally popular, new alpine route de- velopment in the past year has been limited to just one line on the west face of Mt Aspiring. Pride of the Hotaka was climbed in January ’09 by a Japanese team comprising Takeshi Tani and Masayoshi Kohara. It is a direct line that tackles the upper headwall of the face directly and is graded AI5, M5.

  • Queenstown and Surrounds (Wakatipu Area)
    Community – Kea Project Plan Queenstown and Surrounds (Wakatipu area) Funded by: Department of Conservation – Community Fund (DOC-CF) Period: 1 December 2015 – 31 October 2017. Key contact person: Kea Conservation Trust – Tamsin Orr-Walker – [email protected]; Ph 0274249594 Aim The aim of the Community – Kea Project Plan is to i) facilitate long-term community kea conservation initiatives and ii) to change the way we think, act and live with kea in our communities. This will be actioned through development of collaborative Project Plans across the South Island. Each community plan will address concerns specific to the local community and threats to the resident kea population. Project Background This initial project plan outline has been developed as a result of discussions with communities during the Kea Conservation Trust’s (KCT) Winter Advocacy Tour - 20 July – 3 August 2015. The tour was funded by Dulux and supported by Department of Conservation (DOC). The tour theme, “Building a future with kea”, aimed to promote a new MOU between communities and kea. This initiative is in line with the new Strategic Plan for Kea Conservation (refer attached draft document), objective 3: to i) increase positive perceptions of kea and reduce conflict and ii) facilitate formation of community led kea conservation initiatives. Local Community – Kea Project Plans will be activated by two Community Engagement Coordinator’s (CEC’s) based in the following areas: 1) Upper half of the South Island: Northern region (Nelson/ Motueka/ Kahurangi), Central North (Nelson Lakes/ Murchison/Arthur’s Pass/Christchurch/Mt Hutt) and upper West Coast (Greymouth and Hokitika).
