Please note that this month the Sales Table is again being held a week early. 3 BJFM/H&V/Vol72/No3 VISIT BY WANGANUI TRAMPING CLUB 27th and 28th April Last year the HVTC was invited up to Whanganui to join the Wanganui Tramping Club in two very enjoyable day trips. We also joined the Wanganui Tramping Club for a pot luck meal on the Saturday night. This year, a reciprocal weekend has been arranged and we would like to invite HVTC members to join in some of the trips arranged and/or to come along to the Saturday night pot luck meal. At this stage we are just outlining the arrangements and we will let you know the details closer to the time. Saturday Day Trip – Gollan’s Valley/Butterfly Creek; Dennis Page: I will be leading the classic East Harbour Regional Park walk that comprises a mixture of on and off track travel. It takes in the beautiful Gollan’s Stream and passes through a mixture of forest types; beech, podocarp and nikau glades. The plan is to showcase a bit of Wellington bush that may be unfamiliar to many in the Whanganui TC. We will head up the Kereru track from the Day’s Bay Pavilion, head south to Hawtry and then follow a trapline route down into Gollan’s Stream – We will follow this plus a combination of other trapline tracks to Butterfly Creek, thence out to Rona Bay via the Mackenzie Track and onwards to Day’s Bay to complete the circuit. I intend to have folks meet at the duck pond carpark at 8.45 am for a 9 am sharp departure; we should be back at the cars by 3-4 p.m. for a well-deserved ice cream. I am aware that there may be some in both clubs that may not wish to partake in the full walk that I propose and there is opportunity for another HVTC member to perhaps lead an easier trip into Butterfly Creek on the same day – Say in via Muritai Park and out via Kowhai St or the Bus Barn track. If this sounds like you and you would be keen to help me out by leading a slightly easier trip that will appeal to a wider cross-section from both clubs, then please let Nick and me know so that we can also promote with the Whanganui TC. After a moderate or hard day’s walk, you can then look forward to the shared pot-luck meal that Bernice and Irene are helping to coordinate. Dennis 970 6901 / 021 229 9901 Saturday Night Pot Luck Meal Irene Davies and Bernice Deller are organising the pot luck meal and we would be grateful for some extra helpers on the night. The venue will depend on numbers. However we would be hoping to know numbers by 20th April. It was a very enjoyable evening in Whanganui and we certainly hope to repay the hospitality. Please contact Irene or Bernice if you have any questions or if you are happy to bring along a pot luck meal on the Saturday night. Irene 021 056 6442 Bernice 027 688 1320 4 BJFM/H&V/Vol72/No3 Sunday Day Trip – Belmont Regional Park; Graeme Lythgoe: I will be leading a tramp in the Belmont Regional Park. I will leave exact details until nearer the date to take account of the weather. However I hope to make it a decent tramp and will try and split the group to cater for those wanting a shorter walk. Graeme 479 6630 ========================================================== BITS OF INFO FROM THE GENERAL COMMITTEE Club Publications The family of Gilbert Mabin recently offered us a collection (not complete) of his Club Annuals - Hutt Valley Tramping 1966 to 1979 but missing years 1967, 1971, 1976. Bert Mabin arrived from Christchurch in 1930, and with a great deal of enthusiasm began introducing HVTC trampers to the Southern Alps. He edited our Club’s first publication – “In Search of New Zealand” in 1934 and began the regular newsletter “Hills and Valleys” in 1936. He was elected a Life Member in 1940. The Club has a complete collection of its publications, so if you would like to have Bert Mabin’s series of the early annuals – full of stories of many adventures – please contact me. ps. The collection offered to us included a copy of “In Search of New Zealand” published in 1934, but I have purloined that already. It is a real gem! Papatahi Hut In a communication that has surprised us, the Department of Conservation has advised that it will extend the present Memorandum of Understanding it has with us for access to and maintenance of Papatahi Hut for just two years, rather than the 10 years previously offered. They propose then granting to the Club the lease on one of the (at present) private huts in the Orongorongo Valley, as leases of these are relinquished or expire. HVTC would have ownership and exclusive access to the hut – but would be responsible for its maintenance and the fulfilment of all lease conditions. No action will be undertaken without a resolution from a General Meeting and it is not an urgent question – but what do you think our Club should do? Welcoming visitors to Club meetings For several years a few Club members, plus usually the chairperson of the meeting, have stood up as contacts for any person visiting the Club and wanting to find out more about us. However, it is a daunting experience to enter for the first time, or few times, a room full of enthusiasts eagerly talking to one another so the General Committee would like to be more proactive in welcoming newcomers . Marina is setting up a roster amongst members of the General Committee (those not otherwise busy ensuring the meeting will run!) to welcome new visitors/faces close to the hall entrance. Any Clubmembers willing to help us meet new visitors should contact Marina (ph 021 792 260; e-mail [email protected]) to join the roster – it should not be very often! It would also help us if the area just inside the hall doors is kept reasonably clear, leaving space for us to engage with new visitors. Privacy The content of Club Trip Schedules and of Hills and Valleys is searchable on the internet, either from the Club web-site or because the publications are deposited with the National Library.

  • Wainuiomata Central Place Name Origins
    WainuiomataCentralPlaceNames.docx WAINUIOMATA CENTRAL PLACE NAME ORIGINS This document is about the origin of the names of various features of Central Wainuiomata on the flat area such as houses, parks and suburb names. It excludes road and street names. Wainuiomata is named after the big water or stream of Mata. Wai means water. Nui means big. O means of. Mata refers to a woman's name Roimata. This is an official version. The origins of the word are disputed and other commonly accepted translations are: - Refers to the women living in the now Hutt Valley who came over the Wainuiomata Hill to evade marauding tribes. These tribes in about 1819 were carrying muskets that came north from the Paremata area. In the battle the local tribes were said to have been destroyed. The Paremata Maoris came across the remaining women who were sitting wailing by the stream after the slaughter of their menfolk. From this we have “faces streaming with water”, “tears” or “weeping water”. - Refers to the large pools of water which lay over the swampy surface of the northern end of the Valley, or the river itself which is known to flood the Coast Road / Wainuiomata Valley. From this it can also mean large river from the swamp. - Refers to the whitebait that are present at the mouth of the river. Mata means whitebait. From this we have big river of whitebait. - Refers to flint or obsidian which is hard rock found in the headwaters of the river. - Refers to the origin and personification of water. The area for the purposes of this document covers is from the head of the Wainuiomata River to the mouth where it enters the sea at the Wainuiomata Coast and its tributaries.

  • Macroinvertebrate Community Responses to Mammal Control
    MACROINVERTEBRATE COMMUNITY RESPONSES TO MAMMAL CONTROL – EVIDENCE FOR TOP-DOWN TROPHIC EFFECTS BY OLIVIA EDITH VERGARA PARRA A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Conservation Biology Victoria University of Wellington 2018 Para mi sobrina Violeta Orellana Vergara y su sonrisa hermosa. Tu llegada remeció mi corazón de amor de una manera inimaginable. ¡Sueña en grande! ii Nothing in nature stands alone... (John Hunter 1786) iii iv ABSTRACT New Zealand’s invertebrates are characterised by extraordinary levels of endemism and a tendency toward gigantism, flightlessness and longevity. These characteristics have resulted in a high vulnerability to introduced mammals (i.e. possums, rats, mice, and stoats) which are not only a serious threat to these invertebrates, but have also altered food web interactions over the past two-hundred years. The establishment of fenced reserves and the aerial application of 1080 toxin are two methods of mammal control used in New Zealand to exclude and reduce introduced mammals, respectively. Responses of ground-dwelling invertebrates to mammal control, including a consideration of trophic cascades and their interactions, remain unclear. However, in this thesis, I aimed to investigate how changes in mammal communities inside and outside a fenced reserve (ZEALANDIA, Wellington) and before-and-after the application of 1080 in Aorangi Forest, influence the taxonomic and trophic abundance, body size and other traits of ground-dwelling invertebrates on the mainland of New Zealand. I also tested for effects of habitat variables (i.e. vegetation and elevation), fluctuations in predator populations (i.e.

  • Wellington Mar 2019
    THE ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NEW ZEALAND (Inc) OSNZ - Birds New Zealand March 2019 http://osnz.org.nz/ and http://notornis.osnz.org.nz/ Greetings There are two major events on the Wellington Birds New Zealand 2019 calendar; the Birds New Zealand Conference over Queen’s Birthday weekend and the start of the new Atlas Scheme. Information on the new Atlas scheme was recently published in the March issue of the Birds New Zealand magazine. The Wellington Region over the next three months will plan how the new scheme will be managed in our region. Importantly, the new scheme will provide local members with the opportunity to participate in a National Programme which will help guide local and national conservation policy for many years. Training will be provided on the operation of the scheme and bird identification. There is likely to be a need for helping our neighbouring regions which have large areas and small Birds New Zealand membership. 2019 is turning out to be a busy time for bird translocations in the Wellington Region, rifleman to Zealandia and fernbird and white-faced storm petrels to Mana Island. These translocations will provide Wellington members with not only further opportunity to see these birds but also helping with post translocation monitoring by recording band combinations. Regards Geoff de Lisle Wellington Regional Representative, Birds New Zealand (OSNZ) Birds New Zealand Conference – Queen’s Birthday Weekend – Update Registrations for the conference now exceed 100 and include many from the Wellington Region. Keynote presentations for the Conference include a talk on the latest, record Kakapo breeding season, Auckland Islands and the launch of the new Birds New Zealand Atlas Scheme.
