Mt Titiroa, Fiordland National Park A distinctive peak in the Hunter Mountains, Mt Titiroa appears to have snow on it all year round due to the white granite sands that glisten on its summit. Take a water taxi across the Waiau River and begin walking the Hope Arm Track. Old beech and podocarp trees line the muddy and swampy track – it is one of the few places that these tree types grow together. Continue on from Hope Arm Hut through more beech and podocarp forest, to Garnock Burn Saddle and on through Snow White Clearings – a great place to camp if you have time. After descending to the Garnock Burn River the off-track section of the trip begins. Across the river, climb a ridge in the bush, keeping to the true right of the stream flowing from Mt Titiroa into the Garnock Burn and head towards Pt785, avoiding the bluffs on the steep slope. Above this, the gradient eases and there are game trails to Pt1017 where scrub gives way to tussock slopes and a sandy granite saddle. You can either camp in the bush or there is a bivvy higher up, but it may prove difficult to find. Alternatively, there is a leaning rock, near a tarn 300m below the summit at Pt1412. Climb up the sandy slopes to the main ridge, where eroded granite monoliths protruded from the ridge in various forms. Head on to the 1715m summit. It pays to occasionally drop onto the western side of the ridge to negotiate the more severe rocky outcrops. The summit has views of Lake Manapouri. Retrace your steps off the ridge, down to Garnock Burn, Hope Arm. you can arrange a boat pick-up at the Waiau River.

Waste Options in Rural Southland

Southland has a variety of waste facilities ranging from recycling centres where people freely drop off recyclables to waste transfer stations that accept household and commercial rubbish. Rural Refuse Collection Rural properties have several options for rubbish collection. Private contractors that offer collection services are listed in the yellow pages under ‘Waste Disposal’ and ‘Recycling’. However it could be just as easy to take your rubbish/recycling to the nearest transfer station, or recycling to your local recycling centre. Waste Transfer Stations Waste Transfers Stations are for the disposal of rubbish, greenwaste (garden waste), scrap metal recyclables, pre-loved materials and small quantities of hazardous chemicals.
