August 2010 MECHANICS OF FOLDING IN CENTRAL OTAGO An investigation of the Recent deformation of the Rock and Pillar Range. Gillian Greta Salton A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Science University of Otago 1993 ABSTRACT Cenozoic deformation of the Central Otago Range and Basin province has been investigated to determine the mechanism of range formation. Mapping in the Rock and Pillar Range revealed macroscopic folds in schistosity which correspond in shape and size to the ranges, suggesting topography is controlled by folding of the schist. This congruence has also been documented in the Raggedy Range, further to the west. The role of the Hyde Fault in uplift of the Rock and Pillar Range has been investigated. Available evidence suggests there is no large throw across the fault and that faulting is subordinate to folding in the formation of the range. Thus the Central Otago ranges are interpreted as macroscopic folds of the upper crust.

This publication may be reproduced in whole or in part provided the source is fully and clearly acknowledged. ISBN 978-0-478-37651-7 Prepared by: Justin Kitto Published September 2012 Water quality effects on instream values in the Upper Taieri iii Foreword The Otago Regional Council (ORC) carries out regular water quality monitoring as part of its State of Environment programme, as well as short-term targeted water quality monitoring programmes. This report provides the results from a more detailed, short-term investigation carried out in the upper Taieri River catchment. The Upper Taieri is well known for its natural values, including the regionally significant scroll plain wetland, endangered native fish and its trout fishery. However, water quality and ecology of the area is being put under pressure because of changing agricultural use, especially increasing use of irrigation and the intensification of land use. By using both regulatory and non-regulatory approaches, the ORC must ensure that the water quality in the region is maintained or if necessary enhanced. In line with this principle, the ORC is currently implementing a Rural Water Quality Strategy and revising its Water Plan, in consultation with the Otago community. The results of this report will be used to guide policy decisions.

Introduction , Trip 11: Waitaki/Canterbury Basin Day 1 : short stop at Vanished World Centre [see also mid-conference trip #7]; Wharekuri Creek (Oligocene near-basin margin = a shoreline nearby in "drowned" NZ); Corbies Creek/Backyards (basement - Kaihikuan fossiliferous Triassic marine); Hakataramea Valley (Paleogene nonmarine to marine, including richly fossiliferous Oligocene, and Quaternary block faulting); Waihao Valley (if time permits - Eocene large forams and other warm-water fossils and/or Oligocene unconformities). Night in Waimate. Day 2 : Otaio Gorge (Paleogene-early Miocene nonmarine-marine sequence); Squires Farm (Oligocene unconformity); Makikihi (Plio-Pleistocene shallow marine to nonmarine fossiliferous strata); Elephant Hill Stream (Early Miocene; start of Neogene basin infill). Which localities are visited will depend on weather, time taken at early stops, and farm/quarry activities which normally don’t prevent access - but may occasionally. The guide draws on some material from earlier guides (Fordyce & Maxwell 2003, and others cited). Graphics, photos, and field observations, are by Ewan Fordyce unless indicated.

  • Goldfields Cavalcade
    CAVALCADE 15th – 22nd February 2 0 1 4 Ranfurly, in the heart of the Maniototo Plain will welcome the Cavalcade on the 22nd of February 2014. The Maniototo Plain is surrounded by the Rough Ridge, Kakanui, Rock & Pillar and Mt Ida ranges that all featured in the Otago goldfields story. Settlements of Naseby, Kyeburn Diggings, Hamiltons, Patearoa, Garibaldi and Serpentine all sprung up, most temporarily, to support their respective goldfields. Ranfurly, far from the gold bearing mountains and gullies developed later with the Otago Central Railway. The town was associated with the next wave of business and industry. So rather than the Victorian buildings associated with the gold-mining towns, Ranfurly’s buildings reflect another time with the Art Deco architectural style featuring strongly. To celebrate this aspect of our heritage Ranfurly has an annual Art Deco Festival with music, entertainment, an art exhibition, market stalls, vintage cars, food and fun. This year we are thrilled to be combining our Festival with the last day of the 2014 Cavalcade. We look forward to a great party where flappers and gangsters mingle with hardy pioneering folk – we welcome you to ‘DECO-CADE’!

  • Identifying Geckos in Otago
    CROMWELL GECKO Hoplodactylus aff. maculatus ‘Cromwell’ (Hitchmough, unpublished) Size 49–75 mm SVL (usually 55–70 mm). Colour Typically grey or olive-grey, but tending towards brownish in the Wanaka and Carrick Range areas; specimens in the Criffle Range are pale brown. Significant variations occur from time to time, including specimens that are dark brown, straw-brown or olive-green. The markings are usually banded or blotched, but partially to fully striped individuals are not uncommon around the Cromwell Gorge. The under- surface is normally grey, often with darker grey flecks. The eye ranges from greenish to pale golden-brown, grey-brown, or very dark brown (often in a mottled combination). Very rarely, specimens may have one or two bright yellow spots on the upper surfaces. Mouth colour is pink. (See Fig. 9A–D.) Build Specimens in highland areas tend to be larger and more robust than those in the lowlands. However, individuals in the southern Pisa Range are relatively large (69 mm SVL) and robust, even at low altitudes. In the Dunstan Mountains and the Cairnmuir Range, populations in the lowland valley floors may be especially small, with adults sometimes only attaining 49–50 mm SVL. The toe-pads range from narrow to moderately broad in expansion, with curved lamellae; the distal phalange is narrow in shape. Distribution Found through much of the upper Clutha River catchment. Records include the western faces of the Dunstan Mountains (from Cluden Stream southwards to Clyde); the northern end of the Cairnmuir Range; Bannock Burn; the Carrick Range; Nevis Bluff and 30 AB CD Figure 9A–D.
