Self Guided Cycle Package Alps 2 Ocean Trail - Trip Notes Cycle a challenging 310km from Aoraki Mt Cook all the way to the Pacific Ocean through rural NZ on a purpose built cycle trail with a few road sections, featuring an astounding array of pristine scenery. Trail Highlights Trail Details + Cycle 310km of the Alps 2 Ocean Trail from the mountains to the sea + 7 days + Enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Mackenzie Basin + Grade 2-3 + Admire the engineering of the Waitaki Valley hydro scheme + 310km cycling + Discover the Maori Rock art and limestone outcrops of North Otago + Starts/Ends in Twizel or Oamaru + Step back in time in Oamaru's splendid Victorian Precinct + Available October - April + Stargaze in the ‘Aoraki Mackenzie international dark sky reserve’ The Alps 2 Ocean Trail offers an astounding array of scenery over its 310km span, from Aoraki Mt Cook and the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps to the surreal turquoise blue glacial lakes, to the vast open tussocky plains of the Mackenzie Basin, to the fertile river terraces of the Waitaki Valley, to the limestone rock pocked green farmland of North Otago, culminating in the delightful Victorian Precinct of Oamaru beside the Pacific Ocean. The trail is situated on the eastern side of the Main Divide, so in nature is low in rainfall though very exposed to the elements, particularly wind, with temperatures varying from 5 - 35 degrees Celsius during the summer months. It is a harsh but stunning environment, relatively unpopulated, with few signs of civilisation between the established townships. Due to the large distances between these townships, cyclists riding the trail self guided should be prepared to carry all their food and drink requirements for the days ride on their bikes as there is very little if any available for purchase along the way. Riders should be comfortable cycling at least 60-80kms per day. _________________________________________________________________________________ Questions?

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview This excursion provides an overview of the geology and tectonics of the Waitaki valley, including some features of its hydroelectric dams. The excursion highlight is Aviemore Dam, constructed in the 1960s across a major fault, the subsequent (mid-1990s – early 2000s) discovery and quantification of late Quaternary displacement on this fault and the resulting engineering mitigation of the dam foundation fault displacement hazard. The excursion provides insights to the nature and expression of faults in the Waitaki landscape, and the character and ages of the Waitaki alluvial terrace sequences.

The Wrybill is a threatenedplover endemic to New Zealandand unique in havinga bill curvedto the right.It is specializedfor breedingon bareshingle in thebraided riverbeds of Canterburyand Otago in the SouthIsland. After breeding,almost the entirepopulation migrates north and wintersin the harboursaround Auckland. The speciesis classifiedas Vulnerable. Based on countsof winteringflocks, the population currently appears to number4,500-5,000 individuals.However, countingproblems mean that trendsare difficult to determine. The mainthreats to theWrybill arebelieved to be predationon thebreeding grounds, degradation of breeding habitat,and floodingof nests.In a recentstudy in the MackenzieBasin, predation by introducedmammals (mainly stoats,cats and possibly ferrets) had a substantialimpact on Wrybill survivaland productivity. Prey- switchingby predatorsfollowing the introductionof rabbithaemorrhagic disease in 1997 probablyincreased predationrates on breedingwaders. A recentstudy of stoatsin the TasmanRiver showedthat 11% of stoat densexamined contained Wrybill remains.Breeding habitat is beinglost in somerivers and degraded in oth- ers,mainly by waterabstraction and flow manipulation,invasion of weeds,and human recreational use. Flood- ing causessome loss of nestsbut is alsobeneficial, keeping nesting areas weed-free. The breedingrange of the speciesappears to be contractingand fragmenting, with the bulk of the popula- tion now breedingin three large catchments.

  • Farming in North Otago

    FARMING IN NORTH OTAGO J. D. CURRIE Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Oarnaru Abstract North Otago is a well-established, efficiently farmed district. Primary production, which grossed an estimated $20 million in the 1973-4 season, will continue to be the major source of regional revenue. The geographic character and the soil resources of the district are described with a comprehensive coverage of historical development, current farming practices and future opportunities for pastoral development. The principal factor limiting agriculture in North Otago is a climate characterized by low, variable rainfall. Pastoral potential is closely tied to investment in oversowing, lucerne and irrigation. Successful farming under difhcult environmental conditions demands above-average ability. The managerial skill of North Otago’s farmers is an outstanding regional resource that augurs well for the future. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION NORTH OTAGO is a well-defined region. The northern, Canterbury, boundary follows the Waitaki River to its snowfield source in the Southern Alps beyond Lake Ohau. Above Kurow are the hydro dams, below Kurow the river remains as a broad natural boundary, flowing in swift braided channels down a bouldery bed to the sea. The southern boundary that isolates North Otago from its parent province is a mountain wall running north-west from Shag Point to the Lindis Pass and on to the Alps. A fork in the mountains that sweep round from Danseys Pass to Kurow divides North Otago into two districts that are distinct in nature and development. Inland, at Omarama, the sparsely populated run country is similar to Central Otago. Below Kurow is the more closely settled country, The moun- tains and foothills are only suited to extensive grazing, but most of the lower country is made up of rolling loessial downs, good natural grassland, much of it arable.

COVID-19 cancelled fieldwork before data collection was complete. The limited data indicate that cyclists are extremely satisfied with the A2O and associated services, and make substantial expenditures associated with their ride. The A2O was a strong attractant to cyclists, the large majority of whom would not have visited the districts in the absence of the trail. Keywords A2O Cycle Trail, tourist attractions, tourism spending, economic attribution model, Mackenzie District, Waitaki District Acknowledgements This project benefitted immensely from the contributions of others.
