The Hurunui and Waiau Rivers flow through hills for most of their length and are Canterbury’s most scenic braided rivers. In places, the presence of hills on the riverbanks make access challenging but anglers who put in the effort should be well rewarded.

The CDHB as a whole represents over 8300 employees across a diverse range of services. Every division of the CDHB is affected by alcohol misuse and alcohol-related harm. The CDHB response is based on extensive evidence for alcohol-related harm. It is important that evidence-based submissions are given a higher weighting than those based on opinion or hearsay in the final formulation of the Local Alcohol Policy. There are important evidence based issues, clinical issues and public health issues which need to be articulated by the CDHB and therefore requests two slots at the hearings .

    Rails and trails Climb aboard the 11:30am departure from Glenmark Station, arriving into Waikari Station at 12:15pm. After viewing the locomotive turn on the turntable and checking out the historic station building, cross the road and head down the willow-lined Waikari Village Walkway. A short stroll down the walkway leads you to a yellow sign pointing towards the ridgeline. This is the beginning of the 1½ hour return Weka Pass Historic Reserve walkway across farmland to a large limestone overhang shelter, containing examples of ancient Maori rock art in vivid kokowai clay. The subjects of their drawings were simple human figures, fish and dogs. Some drawings are more imaginative; others are little more than scribbles. Please note the walkway is closed during the lambing season in August. After a bite to eat in one of Waikari’s great food outlets, climb aboard the 3:10pm departure back to your car at Glenmark. An afternoon family escape Invite the whole family along for an afternoon out in North Canterbury. Invite the grandparents too – they may be eligible for a GoldCard discount on this afternoon trip. Climb aboard the 2:00pm departure from Glenmark Station. Enjoy a heritage train ride through the scenic Weka Pass from the open air viewing decks, or from the heated carriages if the sun’s not out. A 25 minute stopover at Waikari allows just enough time for an icecream and the all-important photo next to the turntable! Climb aboard at 3:10pm for your return journey. Perhaps you could call into the Amberley Domain on your way home? The large domain has a playground and a huge slide, and there’s a couple of great fish and chip shops and dairies nearby for a late afternoon treat! On your bike Climb aboard the 11:30am departure from Glenmark Station, placing your bike into the guards van with the help of a friendly staff member.

  • Report on Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha Flows from Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to the South Pacific Ocean South of Kaikoura
    Report on altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha Flows from Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to the South Pacific Ocean south of Kaikoura MAP 1 Source: MapToaster™ NZTopo250 sheets 18 and 19 Crown Copyright Reserved SUMMARY • Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura (TRoK) is seeking to alter the recorded name, Waiau River, to Waiau Uwha, without the generic term ‘River’. • TRoK’s tradition is that ‘Waiau Uwha, the female river, coupled with Waiau Toa [Clarence River], the male river, drifted away from each other. Waiau Uwha laments this separation and her tears swell the waters when melted snow enters the river’. • TRoK has also made a proposal to alter Clarence River to Waiau Toa. • The river flows generally south and then east for approximately 160 km from its source below Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to its mouth at the South Pacific Ocean, approximately 50 km southwest of Kaikoura. • TRoK has provided evidence of the river being named ‘Waiauuwha’, ‘Waiau-uha’ and ‘Waiau uha’. Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori has confirmed that the orthography ‘Waiau Uwha’ is correct, and advised that ‘ua’ can be a contraction of ‘uha’, which is a variant form of ‘uwha’. • Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha River (or Waiau Uwha without the generic term) would recognise the historical significance of the name, 1 Land Information New Zealand 20 April 2016 Page 1 of 9 Linzone ID A2160684 and support TRoK’s desire to have the meaning and story behind the name live on. It would also meet the NZGB’s statutory function to collect and encourage the use of original Māori names on official charts and maps.

  • A Pilgrim on God's High Road Œ Canon Wilford in New Zealand
    i A Pilgrim on God’s High Road – Canon Wilford in New Zealand 1904-1932 JOSEPHINE E. WELCH A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Canterbury The University of Canterbury 2006 ii Abstract This thesis examines the life of Canon John Russell Wilford, an Anglican clergyman working in the Diocese of Christchurch, in New Zealand from 1904 to 1933. This thesis concentrates on four of Canon Wilford’s projects during this time: church building at Waikari, the 1910 missions in Prebbleton, the redevelopment of College House and the building of St George’s Hospital. These projects were inspired by Canon Wilford’s faith in God and his interest in the Canterbury Pilgrims. Each project also demonstrated Wilford’s abilities as a fundraiser and an organiser. The development of faith was Wilford’s main concern in the Waikari and Prebbleton parishes. This thesis examines how he tried to do this with church building in Waikari and the General Mission in Prebbleton. It also examines the fundraising methods used by Wilford for the Waikari churches and how he became interested in the Canterbury Pilgrims there. The thesis looks at Wilford’s role in the organisation of missions to develop faith in the Prebbleton parish in 1910. It also considers Wilford’s Anglo-Catholicism and how this related to the missions as well as his interest in the Pilgrims. Wilford was Principal of College House for the majority of his time in New Zealand and this thesis covers his attempts to rebuild the College and how he felt inspired by God and the Pilgrims to do so.
