  • Aoraki Mt Cook
    Anna Thompson: Aoraki/Mt Cook – cultural icon or tourist “object” The natural areas of New Zealand, particularly national parks, are a key attraction for domestic and international visitors who venture there for a variety of recreation and leisure purposes. This paper discusses the complex cultural values and timeless quality of an iconic landmark - Aoraki/Mt Cook – which is located within the ever-changing Mackenzie Basin. It explores the various human values for the mountain and the surrounding regional landscape which has become iconic in its own right. The landscape has economic, environmental, scientific and social significance with intangible heritage values and connotations of sacred and sublime experiences of place. The paper considers Aoraki/Mt Cook as a ‘wilderness’ region that is also a focal point not only for local inhabitants but also for travellers sightseeing and recreating in the area. The paper also explores how cultural values for the mountain are interpreted to visitors in an attempt to convey a sense of ‘place’. Finally the Mackenzie Basin is discussed as a special ‘in-between’ place – that should be considered significant in its own right and not just as a ‘foreground’ or ‘frame’ for viewing the Southern Alps and Aoraki/Mt Cook itself. The Mackenzie has aesthetic scenic qualities that need careful management of activities such as recent attempts to establish industrialised, dairy factory farming (which does not complement more sustainable economic and social development in the region). Sympathetic projects such as the Nga Haerenga (Ocean to the Alps) cycle way are also under development to encourage activity within the landscape – in conflict with the dairying and other activities that impact negatively on the natural resources of the region.1 Introduction – cultural values for landscape and ‘place’ Aotearoa New Zealand is regarded by many as a ‘young country’ – the last indigenous populated country to be colonised by European cultures.

  • Christchurch to Lake Tekapo
    Day 1: Christchurch to Lake Tekapo We stay along this lake in Tekapo. Day Plan Kia Ora and welcome to New Zealand! We begin our South Island tour in its biggest city. Often referred to as the 'Garden City', Christchurch is characterised by wide tree-lined avenues, beautifully maintained gardens, ambling inner-city rivers and restored heritage buildings. Your day begins with an orientation tour of Christchurch’s surrounding area. Unfortunately the earthquakes of September 2010 and February 2011 have damaged many buildings, including the iconic cathedral - but the city is in the re-build stage and things look optimistic for its future. After lunch we leave Christchurch and head south for Lake Tekapo. This picture perfect lakeside village is known as a ski resort in winter and aquatic playground in summer. The landscape of the surrounding Southern Alps is outstanding, sculpted by successive Ice Age glaciers, the remnants of which give the lake its intense turquoise hue. The sky is huge and of extraordinary clarity, making this one of the world’s best locations to probe the heavens. An observatory sits on top of Mt John. Our accommodation is situated right along the edge of the lake. Day 2: Lake Tekapo to Queenstown Mt John has the worlds best star gazing! Day Plan We have time to enjoy Lake Tekapo before leaving for Queenstown in the mid-morning. Your guide will take a break at one of the many salmon farms along the drive to allow you to feed the salmon and taste some sashimi. After heading past Lake Pukaki and Mt Cook (the highest in New Zealand at 3,764 metres) and through the village of Omarama there is a chance to experience some wine tasting just outside of Queenstown.

INTRODUCTTON Lake Tekapo is one of a seri-es of l-akes having similar characteristics and with generaJ-Iy low fishing quality' In this instance a superfi-cial survey was made to determine whether stocklng the 1ake with gane fish is wort\y of consid-eration.

It is a large glacial Lake approxirnately 16 miles tong by 7* miles wide, the water containi-ng much glacial silt in suspension which linits J-ight penetration to a few inches. The lake outlet has been d.ammed for hyd.ro-el-ectric purposes and- consequently the water leveL varies considerably throughout the Year. Three l-arge rivers enter Lake lekapo, the Godì-ey River entering at the head. of the l-ake, the coal River entering ÛeaI the nouth of the Godley River, and. the Cass River enteri-ng'about seven miles south of the north end of the lake on the western 2. shore. Numerous smal-l streâms also enter the lake, most of then on the eastern margin. The outlet from Lakes Al-exand-rina and. McGregor empties into the Lake four miles south of the Cass River mouth.
