  • Mark Davies – Director Operations Western South Island, Department of Conservation
    To: Penny Bicknell – Tourism West Coast From: Mark Davies – Director Operations Western South Island, Department of Conservation CC: Bob Dickson, Operations Manager, Buller Date: 17 August 2018 Purpose • To provide comment on the Tourism West Coast (TWC) Feasibility Study and Business Case for the proposal for visitor improvements at the Oparara Arches, Karamea dated July 2018.1 Review This review and comment has been under by taken by Operations and Recreation and Tourism Planning staff in the Department of Conservation. Summary of the Feasibility Study The study identifies that the Oparara Basin is a spectacular and sensitive part of Kahurangi National Park. The Oparara Arches has been visited by a small number of people for many years (approx. 15,000 PA) and has recently been identified by Tourism West Coast as having the potential to attract larger numbers of visitors and make a positive contribution to the local economy. The study recommends: Improve access to the Oparara Arch by upgrading the walking surface and building new cantilevered track around the rock faces and realigning the track to avoid from areas of rare mosses and to achieve step free access into the arch. Estimated cost $594,000 - $654,000. Extend the track through the Oparara Arch and form a loop track back to the carpark. This would involve a raised walkway through about 250m of the Arch and 300m of new track beyond the end of the arch, with a new suspension bridge across the river and a 1.7km return track. Estimated $995,000 - $1,070,000 Improve the Mirror Tarn Track by forming 300m of new track so visitors can avoid walking back down the road to the car park.

  • Karsztfejlődés Xi
    KARSZTFEJLŐDÉS XI. Szombathely, 2006. pp. 301-316. KARSZTJELENSÉGEK ÉS BARLANGOK ÚJ-ZÉLAND DÉLI- SZIGETÉN A KAHURANGI ÉS AZ ABEL TASMAN NEMZE- TI PARKBAN SZENTES GYÖRGY Alte Frankfurter Str 22 B, D-61118 Bad Vilbel [email protected] Abstract: The author visited and studied the karst region of the north western part of New Zealand's South Island. The karst ranges extend up to 1800 m and are composed of Ordovician marble. In the Western edge of the moun- tains karstified Oligicene limestone overlays the Devonian Karamea Granite. In the marble, spectacular surface karst forms and extended cave systems have developed. Such large caves are for example the 50 km long Bulmer System or the deepest cave of the southern hemisphere, the nearly 900 m deep Nettlebed Cave. The karst region lays in the Kahurangi and Abel Tasman National Parks. The author gives a general overview of the area and some detailed descriptions about the regions visited. He describes among others the Pupu Springs, the largest karst spring of New Zealand, and the Honeycomb Hill Cave which is developed in the Oligicene limestone and contains some subfossil bone finds. Bevezetés A terület (kb. 7000 km2) Új-Zéland Déli-szigetének Ény -i részén fekszik Nelson városától ÉNy -ra (1. ábra). A két nemzeti park Tasmán és az Arthur hegyvonulatot foglalja magába és földtani felépítésük is nagyjából azonos. Ezen a vidéken található Új-Zéland legnagyobb és leglátványosabb föleg márványban keletkezett karsztvidéke, kiterjedt és mély barlangokkal (BA- LÁZS 1981).
