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 .

  • Humanitarian Governance in Colonial New Zealand (1833 - 1872)
    Humanitarian Governance in Colonial New Zealand (1833 - 1872) by Matthew Marshall Woodbury A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Kali A. K. Israel, Co-Chair Professor Mrinalini Sinha, Co-Chair Professor Pamela Ballinger Professor Emeritus Richard P Tucker Matthew Marshall Woodbury [email protected] ORCID id: 0000-0003-3792-8155 © Matthew Marshall Woodbury 2018 This dissertation is dedicated to my mother, Dr. Marsha Cook Woodbury, with gratitude for her support and encouragement. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Historical inquiry can sometimes be an isolating task. Though compensated by moments of quiet but elated archival discovery and the joys of putting the finishing touch on a piece of writing, my happiest moments have been spent with the people and communities that made this work possible. Two unflappable co-chairs, Mrinalini Sinha and Kali Israel, provided a wealth of guidance and perspective at all stages of the project. Their astute commentary, insightful questions, and deep reservoirs of knowledge were crucial to the dissertation’s success. Pamela Ballinger’s introduction to the field of humanitarian history opened my eyes afresh to a topic I thought I knew. Her suggestions and feedback were central to how this project engages humanitarian action. Richard Tucker’s perspectives on the connection between environment and warfare proved especially valuable and his graciousness throughout is a model I aspire to emulate. The failings of this dissertation are, of course, mine alone. Arriving at the University of Michigan, I had no real concept of what rich academic opportunities awaited.

  • Heaphy Track Itinerary
    HEAPHY TRACK ITINERARY The Heaphy is renowned for its flora for several reasons. Kahurangi National Park has more plant species than any other park in New Zealand. During the last ice age the tussock grasslands (peneplains) of the park escaped glaciation and became refuges into which many of New Zealand’s alpine species colonized. As the park is situated in the centre of New Zealand, it is also the southern or northern limit to many species. The Heaphy Track starts in lowland forest, climbs through a variety of habitat to a sub-alpine plateau, and eventually finishes in coastal forest with the world’s most southern palm trees fringing its beaches. There are many rare and endemic species along the track. In the 1960’s, with tramping becoming a popular pastime with New Zealanders, the track was ‘rediscovered’. The Forest Service responded by building more huts and upgrading the track. Trampers, in turn, arrived in ever greater numbers to experience this amazing tour of varied scenery and natural history. The track receives its name from Charles Heaphy – explorer, artist and soldier – who, along with Thomas Brunner and their Maori guides Kehu and Etau, was the first European to explore the Heaphy coast.

  • Mr Charles Davy, Surveyor
    fig I (above) Mr Charles Davy, Surveyor [23 December 1843], Taranaki Museum 105 • p a GISELLE BYRNES r \ Between the Lines: i c u Expressing the Particular in the Discourse of I a Surveying r s "There is something exhilarating in daily coming on new country, and descrying new objects of interest." (John Turnbull Thomson, Chief Surveyor of Otago, 1857) Introduction "The first impression of a place," wrote the surveyor Edwin Brookes of his arrival in Taranaki in 1874, "[is] generally the most lasting, and on my first glimpse of New Plymouth I formed an opinion that I never modified afterwards."1 To the nineteenth-century European settler - or unsettler - land that lay uncultivated was unproductive. British emigrants expected that the transformation of the New Zealand landscape would 'civilise' what appeared to be a wild and unlettered land. This part of the new world was to be a 'Britain of the South"; an antipodean outpost of empire that replicated, then reproduced the values, attitudes and aspirations of the old. The task of the colonial surveyor, as Mary Louise Pratt has observed of the colonial explorer, "was to incorporate a particular reality into a series of interlocking information orders - aesthetic, geographical, mineralogical, botanical, agricultural, economic, ecological, ethnographical and so on ... In scanning prospects in the spatial sense ... [the explorers'] eye knows itself to be looking at the prospects in a temporal sense - as possibilities for the future, resources to be developed, landscapes to be peopled, or re-peopled by Europeans."2 Within the matrix of colonialism, surveying was the active universalization of a habitable and productive space; in providing capitalism with new geopolitical territory, surveying was implicated in a dialectic of technological innovation and representation.3 "It was not by discovering novelties," Paul Carter has argued, "but by ordering them, rendering them conceptually and culturally visible, that the great work of colonization went ahead.
