  • Aviation Occurrence Report
    AVIATION OCCURRENCE REPORT 01-012 Robinson R44 Astro, ZK-HTK, collision with terrain, Urewera National Park 3 December 2001 TRANSPORT ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION COMMISSION NEW ZEALAND The Transport Accident Investigation Commission is an independent Crown entity established to determine the circumstances and causes of accidents and incidents with a view to avoiding similar occurrences in the future. Accordingly it is inappropriate that reports should be used to assign fault or blame or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The Commission may make recommendations to improve transport safety. The cost of implementing any recommendation must always be balanced against its benefits. Such analysis is a matter for the regulator and the industry. These reports may be reprinted in whole or in part without charge, providing acknowledgement is made to the Transport Accident Investigation Commission. Report 01-012 Robinson R44 Astro ZK-HTK collision with terrain Urewera National Park 3 December 2001 Abstract On Monday 3 December 2001 at about 1430, Robinson R44 helicopter ZK-HTK was on a commercial transport flight from a remote campsite in the Urewera National Park to Ruatahuna, carrying two hunters whose recovery had been delayed by bad weather.

  • Download Wairoa Fisheries Catchment
    Wairoa fisheries catchment EASTERN REGION The Wairoa River catchment is one of the largest within the Eastern Region and includes catchments of the major tributary rivers the Waiau, Waikaretaheke, Ruakituri and Hangaroa. It drains the eastern side of the Te Urewera country and includes Lake Waikaremoana, and the Putere Lakes, and in the Gisborne back country the Tiniroto area includes Kents Lake. In addition there are numerous smaller streams many of which are also good trout fisheries. The catchment spans an enormous area of bush country and farm and forest lands in the Wairoa and Gisborne districts. Opportunity for trout fishing is immense. For information on the Lake Waikaremoana and Ruakituri River fisheries, refer to the separate brochures specific to these fisheries. Waiau River The Waiau River commences in the heavily bushed Te Urewera at the confluence of the Parahaki and Wairoa Streams and drains the south eastern portion of Te Urewera, then flows through farm and forest country to be joined by the Waikaretaheke River. At Frasertown, the Waiau joins the Wairoa river which flows into the sea in northern Hawkes Bay near Wairoa town. The Waiau provides considerable angler opportunity from remote back country experiences, through to locations easily accessed by road. Fly and spin fishing are permitted methods. In its upper reaches within Te Urewera, much of the river can be accessed from tramping tracks, however a good level of fitness is advised if venturing into this area. Headwater streams the Parahaki and Wairoa also provide good fishing particularly in the early season. Main access points for anglers: This is a description of the main angler access points beginning in the upper reaches.

  • Maungapohatu Revisited OR, HOW the GOVERNMENT UNDERDEVELOPED a MAORI COMMUNITY
    New Zealand Journal of History, 38, 2 (2004) Maungapohatu Revisited OR, HOW THE GOVERNMENT UNDERDEVELOPED A MAORI COMMUNITY EARLY THIS CENTURY, segments of the Tuhoe and Whakatohea tribes, under the leadership of the Tuhoe prophet Rua Kenana Hepetipa, built themselves a new community. It lay at the foot of the sacred mountain of the Tuhoe, Maungapohatu, and was a conscious recreation by them of the biblical city of Jerusalem. Constructed during 1907–1908, it was an impressive settlement with its own courthouse, bank, and council room [Figures 1 and 2]. The streets were lit with oil lamps and it had its own water system, with separated pools for washing and cooking. The families set up their own rules of conduct, which were enforced through a council of elders and their prophet leader. In these first years, about 500 or 600 people lived at Maungapohatu.1 Figure 1: Maungapohatu, Christmas 1908. The large double-gabled house, built of sawn timber, which stood in the upper part of the pa, was Rua’s. It was called Hiruharama Hou, New Jerusalem. The circular building near the bottom of the slope was the courthouse and meeting house. It was build of sawn totara, and was called Hiona, Zion. The wooden houses inside the enclosed wahi tapu have replaced the earlier tent homes, and the fence has been rebuilt since the foundation of the settlement. Two formal entrance gates are visible. This photograph taken by George Bourne, appeared in the Auckland Weekly News, 14 January 1909. Evening Post collection, Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington, F-75710-1/2.
