  • Farming in North Otago
    FARMING IN NORTH OTAGO J. D. CURRIE Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Oarnaru Abstract North Otago is a well-established, efficiently farmed district. Primary production, which grossed an estimated $20 million in the 1973-4 season, will continue to be the major source of regional revenue. The geographic character and the soil resources of the district are described with a comprehensive coverage of historical development, current farming practices and future opportunities for pastoral development. The principal factor limiting agriculture in North Otago is a climate characterized by low, variable rainfall. Pastoral potential is closely tied to investment in oversowing, lucerne and irrigation. Successful farming under difhcult environmental conditions demands above-average ability. The managerial skill of North Otago’s farmers is an outstanding regional resource that augurs well for the future. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION NORTH OTAGO is a well-defined region. The northern, Canterbury, boundary follows the Waitaki River to its snowfield source in the Southern Alps beyond Lake Ohau. Above Kurow are the hydro dams, below Kurow the river remains as a broad natural boundary, flowing in swift braided channels down a bouldery bed to the sea. The southern boundary that isolates North Otago from its parent province is a mountain wall running north-west from Shag Point to the Lindis Pass and on to the Alps. A fork in the mountains that sweep round from Danseys Pass to Kurow divides North Otago into two districts that are distinct in nature and development. Inland, at Omarama, the sparsely populated run country is similar to Central Otago. Below Kurow is the more closely settled country, The moun- tains and foothills are only suited to extensive grazing, but most of the lower country is made up of rolling loessial downs, good natural grassland, much of it arable.

COVID-19 cancelled fieldwork before data collection was complete. The limited data indicate that cyclists are extremely satisfied with the A2O and associated services, and make substantial expenditures associated with their ride. The A2O was a strong attractant to cyclists, the large majority of whom would not have visited the districts in the absence of the trail. Keywords A2O Cycle Trail, tourist attractions, tourism spending, economic attribution model, Mackenzie District, Waitaki District Acknowledgements This project benefitted immensely from the contributions of others. We wish to thank the following people for their generosity and assistance. Waitaki District Council, Tourism Waitaki and Cycle Journeys for their guidance and support. Accommodation providers and visitor centre operators who assisted with the distribution of survey cards. Lincoln University colleagues who peer reviewed the survey instrument. Dr Sally Driml, University of Queensland, for peer review of the survey instrument and the economic attribution model. Dr Yvonne Mathews, University of Waikato/Waikato Regional Council, for structuring the interactive mapping inputs. Dr Bentry Mkwara for GIS mapping assistance.

  • The Journey of Saving Not Just Land – but a Whole Island
    The journey of saving not just land – but a whole island What was once an environmental hazard and wasteland is now a restored conservation area thanks to the determination and vision of a community group. Kurow Island is a ten-hectare island which sits within the mighty Waitaki River braided system. The island is Crown land and falls equally between the Waitaki and Waimate District Councils. Access to the island is by the way of State Highway 82 where the original historic twin bridges linked South Canterbury and North Otago. From the early 1900s to 1996 the central area of the island was used as a Waitaki District landfill. Following the closure of the landfill in 1996 the area became an illegal dumping site, a fire hazard and a wasteland covered in weeds. It was infested with pests, gorse and broom which was up to two metres high. Amongst the mess were dumped cars and animal carcasses and this was all visible from the road and bridges. In 2001 Meridian Energy announced their plans for Project Aqua which set to divert three quarters of the water from the Waitaki River to generate hydroelectricity, with the intention to create a recreational reserve with a lake on Kurow Island. In 2004 Project Aqua was abandoned and consequently so was the land proposal. This meant the island was left in its messy state. A group of Kurow locals came together to explore the idea of cleaning it up, to create a recreational and ecological area that benefited people, wildlife, and the environment. Sandy Cameron was a leader in this initiative and said what started out as an idea formed into a significant project.

  • 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.
