POS-21 Fiordland POS-21 Fiordland The Magnificent Scenery of Milford Sounds and Beyond Kia ora and welcome to New Zealand the youngest country on earth. New Zealand’s diverse and dramatic landscape draws many visitors to our shores. From fiords to rainforests, ocean beaches to volcanic cones, the relatively untouched landscape is breathtaking, but what makes the visit so special for many is the people they meet. Māori people believe in the concept of ‘Manaakitanga’ this loosely translates as ‘hospitality’ – a concept that Kiwi people have embraced as part of the New Zealand experience. Kiwis are a friendly bunch and the care, engagement and hospitality we show our guests is based on pride and a genuine belief that this country offers something of everything. New Zealand is regularly rated as one of the world’s preferred destinations not just because of its dramatic scenery, wide open spaces, extreme adventure, clean air, enticing food and wine, creativity and flair but also because of the ‘can do’ attitude. Haere Mai. Welcome and enjoy your stay. Customs and MAF requirements On arrival you will need to complete both customs and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) requirements before you can officially enter New Zealand.

Encompassing the iconic Doubtful and Milford Sounds, Fiordland is the largest national park in New Zealand, a spectacle defined by mist-clad jagged peaks, waterfalls tumbling hundreds of feet into virgin forested valleys, and lonely fiords that reach for the Tasman Sea. Milford Sound attracts more than 500,000 visitors each year and was once described by Rudyard Kipling as the “eighth wonder of the world.” Itinerary Travel by road to Te Anau, the departure point for renowned walking tracks and also the closest service base to Milford Sound. Visit a glowworm cave, experience the southern sky at night, and take the spectacular 119-km (74-mile) Te Anau- Milford Highway, celebrated as one of New Zealand’s most scenic drives. We’ll experience Milford Sound itself from the comfort of a cruise boat or from the seat of a kayak, dwarfed by the misty splendor of 1,692-meter (5,553-foot) Mitre Peak vaulting heavenwards. Another day will give us a taste of the world-famous Milford Track, a four-day hike through dazzling wilderness, or take a walk along Lake Te Anau followed by a jet-boat trip and brief scenic flight. Then we’ll embark on an overnight cruise through lovely Doubtful Sound—far less known than Milford Sound, yet three times longer and ten times the size—seeking dolphins, seals and Fiordland crested penguins. For Doubtful Sound the group will be split onto two boats and accommodations will be shared. Difficulty Rating: MODERATE Story angles: • Iconic scenery of Milford Sound and Fiordland’s other great fiord, Doubtful Sound. • Fiordland (Manapouri) as the 1969 birthplace of the environmental movement in New Zealand. • Fiordland’s day walks, as an alternative to multi-day treks. • Photographing Fiordland. • Indigenous wildlife. Unique photography opportunities: • Innumerable scenic vistas, but highly weather-dependant. • The Southern Sky at night, unencumbered by light pollution. • Wildlife in fiords, including fearless, omnipresent kea parrots around Homer Tunnel. Components requiring some exertion: • Kayaking in Milford Sound is guided and does not require previous experience (instructions provided), but participants must be comfortable in open water and prepared for a range of weather over the course of a 5 hour tour in the two-person sea kayaks. Alternate option: The Big Day Out includes a guided 2½-hour hike to 917- meter (3,012-foot) Key Summit (a 3-mile roundtrip involving a moderate ascent) OR a gentler excursion through the Hollyford Valley. Alternate option: Milford Sound Coach and Cruise is a sedate journey through the scenery, suitable for all. • Guided walk on Milford Track is a 11-km (7-mile) hike on an almost-flat trail. Alternate option: Kepler Track is an easy 10-km (6-mile) walk following the shoreline of Lake Te Anau. Alternate option: Te Anau Lake Cruise, suitable for all. Special clothing or gear participants must bring: • Must be prepared for all kinds of weather, ranging from freezing rain to full-on sunshine, quite possibly on the same day. Layers are essential, and packing should include rain jackets and cold-weather gear. • Sunblock, insect repellent, broken-in hiking shoes, sunglasses, day pack.

  • Factors Involved in the Recent Mortality of Plants from Forest and Scrub Along the Lake Te an Au Shoreline, Fiordland
    34 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ZEALAND EcOLOGICAL SOCIETY. VOL. 24, 1977 FACTORS INVOLVED IN THE RECENT MORTALITY OF PLANTS FROM FOREST AND SCRUB ALONG THE LAKE TE AN AU SHORELINE, FIORDLAND A. F MARK" P. N. JOHNSON', J. B. WILSON' SUMMARY: Mortality of forest and scrub species from most deltas of the Lake Te Anau shoreline is described following unnaturally prolonged flooding during 1975. Despite a high incidence of pinhole borer in the affected beech trees there is conclusive evidence that the mortality in most species was due to prolonged high water tables that exceeded the tolerances of many important shoreline species. Differential mortality in Leptospermum scoparium (manuka) apparently depended on whether or not plants were totally submerged for substantial periods-their root systems appear to be tolerant of indefinite flooding. The results have substantiated previous predictions on submergence tolerance of species from lake-shore forest and scrub communities. These tolerance values had been derived by indirect methods and form the basis of the high-level operational guidelines for use of the lake waters for hydro-electric generation.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. THE IUKAPO (Strigops habroptilus, Gray, 1847) ITS FOOD, FEEDING AND HABITAT IN FIORDLAND AND MAUD ISLAND. A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey Unive-rsity RICHARD SCOTT GRAY 1977 ii. ABSTRACT An extensive Wild Life Service conservation program to save the Kakapo parrot from extinction has permitted the collection of feeding data in Fiordland and on the sancturary, Maud IsJ.and in Pelorus Sound, between November 1974 and MQrch 1977. Four expeditions, each of 4 to 6 weeks between January 1975 and March 1977 enabled my spending over 4 months in the Fiordland Kakapo areas and a further 6 weeks was spent in the Kakapo search on Stewart Island in July and August 1977. ' A total of 15 occupied Kakapo territories in Fiordland were found over the two and a half year period. Kakapo from 3 of these territories were moved to Maud Island and monthly visits between September 1975 and August 1976 enabled regular collection of droppings for faecal anal)sis study. A combined appraisal of feeding sign and faecal content, using cuticle analysis techniques has enabled a more accurate understanding of the Kakapo 1 s diet and its seasonal variations to ba determined. The mobility of the Kakapo could also be roughly estimated and on Maud Island it appeared the Kakapo were learning to obtain new foods.
