  • 8 Day Southern Scenic Route

    8 Day Southern Scenic Route

    8 Day Southern Scenic Route The Journey Few New Zealand road trips rival the Southern Scenic Route for diversity. Sure, it takes in Queenstown, Milford Sound and other landmark attractions on its wiggly ‘U’ through the deep south, but it also travels to quieter corners, with hidden gems just as likely to wow you. The Southern Scenic Route website paints a comprehensive picture, but read on for a hit-list of our favourite stops (often involving home-baking). Highlights of the trip Queenstown Te Anau Milford & Doubtful Sounds Bluff Day 1 Queenstown Frequently lauded as one of the world’s best mountain resorts, Queenstown lives up to the hype with a buzzy centre and beautiful lakeside setting. It also offers a bamboozling array of activities within easy reach including hiking and cycling trails, golf courses, wineries, and iconic must-do’s such as the TSS Earnslaw lake cruise and Skyline Gondola. It’s also campervan heaven, with plenty of holiday parks and reserves near the town centre. Day 2 Queenstown to Te Anau SH6 skirts Lake Wakatipu and meets SH94 to Te Anau. Sitting prettily beside the South Island’s largest lake and boasting seasoned visitor facilities including three top-notch holiday parks, Te Anau is a great base for Fiordland adventures such as world-famous Great Walks and Milford Sound. Attractions close to town include the other-worldly Glowworm Caves, and the conservation-focused Wildlife Centre, accessible by foot or hire-bike along the view-filled Lakeside Track. Reward yourself with a Miles Better Pie. Yum. SIDE TRIP - Milford Sound Pies aside, we’ll eat our hats if you’re not totally wowed by this spectacular drive through the beautiful Eglinton Valley (campsites, sandflies) and rocky narrows around Homer Tunnel.
  • Safe Passage for Visitors

    Safe Passage for Visitors

    SAFE PASSAGE FOR VISITORS Neil Bennett Road Asset Manager, Fulton Hogan Christchurch, New Zealand Abstract Tourism is vitally important to New Zealand’s economy and in the year ended March 2014 over 2.7M visitors arrived in our country. Increasing numbers of tourists are electing to have “self-drive” holidays. In Southland there is a popular tourist route known as the Southern Scenic route, that has an unsealed loop off the sealed road that accesses the popular tourist attractions of Curio Bay and Slope Point (the southernmost point in New Zealand). This paper explains the novel use of a cell phone application, originally developed in Sweden to survey roughness, to accurately monitor driver performance, identify out of context curves particularly from the perspective of a driver who has never seen the road before and often never driven on unsealed roads. The tourists are followed by a survey vehicle through the unsealed road section, photographed every second while driving and the phone data is analysed to enable monitoring of road condition trends at different times of the year. A seal extension would reduce the problem but as a standalone project this has been unable to gain NZ Transport Agency subsidy and so was unaffordable for Council at this time. Unsealed road maintenance strategies are therefore necessary to ensure the safety of our visitors. Key Words Unsealed, Tourist, Gravel, Accident, Crash, Overseas, Self-drive Introduction centres on seeing as much of that landscape as possible in the time available. In most cases In mid-2013 Southland District Council came tourists pre-plan a geographical outline of their under significant pressure from locals about trip, including if they want to see both islands, the condition of the unsealed roads in a what the ‘North Island – South Island’ split will popular diversion off the Southern Scenic be, and some specific tourist destinations, Route through the Catlins.
