Part of Arthur’s Pass National Park is located within this Place (see Map 16). Hokitika is split in two both geologically and ecologically by the Alpine Fault, which lies about 20 km west of the crest of the Main Divide. East of the fault, the schist mountains and valleys are rugged and broken, and a large portion is protected as public conservation land. West of the fault the geology is more complex, landscapes extensively modified and public conservation lands fragmented. This Place is the historic heart of the West Coast Te Tai o Poutini ’s pounamu trade and is the scene of gold mining, forestry and farming industries - particularly dairying. Hokitika is the largest town (population of 3,700 as at 2010). 4.2.6.2 Arthur’s Pass National Park in 2020 Arthur’s Pass National Park straddles the Main Divide of the Southern Alps Kä Tiritiri o te Moana . -

If a gate is open or closed leave it that way. • A farm is the owner’s livelihood and if they say no dogs, then please respect this. • When driving on riverbeds keep to marked tracks or park on the bank and walk to your fishing spot. • Never push in on a pool occupied by another angler. If you are in any doubt have a chat and work out who goes where. • However, if agreed to share the pool then always enter behind any angler already there. • Move upstream or downstream with every few casts (unless you are alone). -
New Zealand Notes
234 New Zealand N ales. NEW ZEALAND NOTES. THE summer of 1927-28 was memorable for a long period of fine weather, in consequence of which more ascents than usual were made. Premature opening-out of schrunds and crevasses, however, added to the diffi culty of the greater climbs; a great advance was made in the use of crampons. Mt. Cook was ascended three times by th e Linda route : On December 19, 1927, by three guides- Vic Williams, A1f Brustad, J ack Pope-in 19 hours. This party established a record by being absent from the Hermitage only three days. On J anuary 4, 1928, by Mr. Eric Lewis, Vic Williams, and J ack Pope. On J anuary 12, 1928, by Mr. R. Aubin and J ack Pope . The low peak of Mt. Cook was also ascended , after long neglect, by Mr. B. Murray and Vic Williams. Two ascents were made of the Minarets and Footstool, and one each of Malte Brun, Hamilton, and Darby. Professor and Mrs. Algie, with A1f Brustad and K. Grinling, made a very successful expedition up the Murchison Valley. They made the first ascent of Bell Peak (9250 ft.) and of two smaller unnamed peaks to th e north of it, and the second ascent of th e two peaked Mt. Hutton (9297 ft.). The first winter ascent of Elie de Beaumont (10,200 ft.) was made on September 13, 1928, by Mr.H . Coxhead and J ack Pope ; they used skis to Lendenfeld Saddle and crampons from th ere to th e summit. -
The State of Wilderness in New Zealand
Appendix 1 A NEW ZEALAND WILDERNESS PHILOSOPHY Section A Wilderness: New Zealand’s Heritage Each of us has our own concept of wilderness which is important to us. What is wilderness? Wilderness is part of New Zealand’s heritage. As a land the New Zealand ‘region’ has been isolated from the other continents for 80 million years—at the close of the age of reptiles. During this long period a natural landscape that is distinctively New Zealand in character has evolved. Man has been an element in that landscape for only 1000 years or so. Yet, in that comparatively short period, man has changed the New Zealand landscape at a rate rarely exceeded in other parts of the world. Since the coming of the Polynesian the primeval forest cover has been reduced from approximately 80 percent of the land to only 23 percent—and most of that remaining forest is confined to the West Coast of the South Island and more mountainous areas. Nature needs time for growing and sleeping, free from automobile fumes and massive tractors, away from the cacophony of snowmobiles and trail bikes. There are plenty of tamed wonders for all to goggle at through vehicle windows—we must also retain our wilderness areas where nature can develop in its own calm way and where only those humans who are prepared to walk and sweat a little qualify to go. Sir Edmund Hillary: Nothing venture, nothing win. What does the term wilderness mean to a New Zealander today? Images of Daniel Boone? The icy wastes of Antarctica? The wanderings of St. -
