From here the track is marked and sign-posted. It stays west of but proximate to the Mararoa River and then South Mavora Lake to this lake’s outlet where another swingbridge provides an alternative access point from Mavora Lakes Road. Beyond this swingbridge, the track continues down the true right side of the Mararoa River to a third and final swing bridge. Along the way a careful assessment is required: if the Mararoa River can be forded safely then Te Araroa Trampers can continue down the track on the true right side to the Kiwi Burn then either divert 1.5km to the Kiwi Burn Hut, or ford the Mararoa River and continue south on the true left bank. If the Mararoa is not fordable then Te Araroa trampers must cross the final swingbridge. Trampers can then continue down the true left bank on the riverside of the fence and, after 3km, rejoin the Te Araroa opposite the Kiwi Burn confluence. 1 Below the Kiwi Burn confluence, Te Araroa is marked with poles down the Mararoa’s true left bank. This is on the riverside of the fence all the way down to Wash Creek, some 16km distant.

  • 2015 SOUTHLAND TOURISM STRATEGY June 2005
    SOUTHLAND TOURISM STRATEGY 2005 - 2015 June 2005 Prepared by: Process Overview: Commisioned by: Southland Tourism Strategy Advisory Group I FOREWORD Tourism is quickly becoming a major driver of regional economic and social development in Southland. It provides opportunities for rural and urban communities to benefit from employment and business development. Tourism complements other industries such as agriculture and provides opportunities for the diversification of Southland’s economy. Tourism is one of the main contributors in Southland’s economy. It is a diverse industry providing employment for between 10-15 percent of the current work force and contributing $368 million in visitor expenditure. This tourism strategy has been prepared with public input on behalf of Venture Southland and the Southland Tourism Strategy Working Group. It has been prepared following site visits, one-on-one meetings with tourism operators, community representatives, council staff and consultation with promotions groups, councillors, mayors and representatives from the four Murihiku Runaka. The focus of the strategy is on managing tourism in Southland in relation to sustainable destination management, marketing and product development. The Southland Tourism Strategy identifies market opportunities and will guide tourism development in Southland over the next ten years. This planned and co-ordinated approach - supported by the strategy will provide significant benefits to the regions and all sectors of the economy. Mayor Tim Shadbolt Mayor Frana Cardno Mayor Tracy Hicks Invercargill City Southland District Gore District ii Our Vision Southland is New Zealand s premier destination for nature, wilderness and cultural heritage experiences — the visitor experience is at an unhurried pace, the hospitality is genuine, service is exceptional and Southland s communities benefit.
