Introduction Getting There the Hurunui River the Waiau River
Introduction The Hurunui and Waiau Rivers offer a more relaxed fishing experience than the bigger braided rivers further south. They are home to North Canterbury’s best populations of brown trout in addition to seasonal populations of sea run salmon. The Hurunui and Waiau Rivers flow through hills for most of their length and are Canterbury’s most scenic braided rivers. In places, the presence of hills on the riverbanks make access challenging but anglers who put in the effort should be well rewarded. Getting There The Waiau River The Hurunui and Waiau Rivers lie around 90 and 130 kilometres north clears after a fresh.

Report on Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha Flows from Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to the South Pacific Ocean South of Kaikoura
Report on altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha Flows from Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to the South Pacific Ocean south of Kaikoura MAP 1 Source: MapToaster™ NZTopo250 sheets 18 and 19 Crown Copyright Reserved SUMMARY • Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura (TRoK) is seeking to alter the recorded name, Waiau River, to Waiau Uwha, without the generic term ‘River’. • TRoK’s tradition is that ‘Waiau Uwha, the female river, coupled with Waiau Toa [Clarence River], the male river, drifted away from each other. Waiau Uwha laments this separation and her tears swell the waters when melted snow enters the river’. • TRoK has also made a proposal to alter Clarence River to Waiau Toa. • The river flows generally south and then east for approximately 160 km from its source below Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to its mouth at the South Pacific Ocean, approximately 50 km southwest of Kaikoura. • TRoK has provided evidence of the river being named ‘Waiauuwha’, ‘Waiau-uha’ and ‘Waiau uha’. Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori has confirmed that the orthography ‘Waiau Uwha’ is correct, and advised that ‘ua’ can be a contraction of ‘uha’, which is a variant form of ‘uwha’. • Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha River (or Waiau Uwha without the generic term) would recognise the historical significance of the name, 1 Land Information New Zealand 20 April 2016 Page 1 of 9 Linzone ID A2160684 and support TRoK’s desire to have the meaning and story behind the name live on. It would also meet the NZGB’s statutory function to collect and encourage the use of original Māori names on official charts and maps. -

The Stone Jug Fault: Facilitating Sinistral Displacement
The Stone Jug Fault: Facilitating Sinistral Displacement Transfer During the Mw7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake By Bradley Scott 30.6.2019 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geology at the University of Canterbury 1 The Central SJF approximately 1km south of Limestone Creek looking south. Photography from helicopter by Kate Pedley 2 Abstract th The Stone Jug Fault (SJF) ruptured during the November 14 , 2016 (at 12:02 am), Mw 7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake which initiated ~40 km west-southwest of the study area, at a depth of approximately 15 km. Preliminary post-earthquake mapping indicated that the SJF connects the Conway-Charwell and Hundalee faults, which form continuous surface rupture, however, detailed study of the SJF had not been undertaken prior to this thesis due to its remote location and mountainous topography. The SJF is 19 km long, has an average strike of ~160° and generally carries approximately equal components of sinistral and reverse displacement. The primary fault trace is sigmoidal in shape with the northern and southern tips rotating in strike from NNW to NW, as the SJF approaches the Hope and Hundalee faults. It comprises several steps and bends and is associated with many (N=48) secondary faults, which are commonly near irregularities in the main fault geometry and in a distributed fault zone at the southern tip. The SJF is generally parallel to Torlesse basement bedding where it may utilise pre-existing zones of weakness. Horizontal, vertical and net displacements range up to 1.4 m, with displacement profiles along the primary trace showing two main maxima separated by a minima towards the middle and ends of the fault. -

Even in the early 1960s, Betty Dick observed that high-country people ‘still must ride into their remote high country stations as their grandparents rode one hundred years ago’, and that: ‘... from the days of the first bullock waggons the roads have varied very little. It is well known that bullocks and horses would avoid soft swampy ground and quicksand patches by instinct—as is still the case with the horses we use in the river today—and the early bullock drivers always headed in long and reasonably straight lines for the mountains, sighting on the high peaks. So naturally with the advent of the traction engine the tracks would be firm and sure going.’ (Dick 1964: 67) Work on the Main Trunk Railway extension between Parnassus and Picton had ceased during the economic depression under the Coalition Government but recommenced in 1936 under Labour (Sherrard 1966). The railheads stretched north to the Hundalee in 1939 and Oaro in 1943, and south to the Clarence River in October 1942 (Sherrard 1966). The South Island Main Trunk line from Invercargill to Picton was opened at Kaikoura Station in December 1945 (Sherrard 1966). -
