New Zealand Top 5 Things to Do in 2017
New Zealand Top 5 Things to Do in 2017 How did we select a New Zealand Top 5 Things to Do in 2017? There is so much to see and do in this amazing country, that it's almost impossible to pick a New Zealand Top 5. We said almost! So we've looked at what's "hot" and "what's not", listened to our visitor's reviews, and based on their recommendations (and our own personal experiences), we've arrived at the: New Zealand Top 5 things to do in 2017 1. Enjoy a traditional Maori hangi and exciting cultural performance, at Tamaki Maori Village, Rotorua. 2. Walk on the glacier on the Franz Josef Glacier small group ice walk. 3. Visit the Lord of the Rings Hobbiton movie set. 4. See the "Eighth Wonder of the World", Milford Sound, on a day tour and cruise from Queenstown. 5. Experience pristine wilderness on the Doubtful Sound wilderness cruise from Te Anau. 1) Maori hangi dinner and cultural performance The Maori people were the first to settle in Aotearoa (the Land of the Long White Cloud), and their story is a fascinating one. This amazing tour takes you just out of Rotorua to Tamaki Maori Village, a recreation of an ancient Maori settlement, set deep in native forest. This tour gives you a feel for what it was like for the indigenous owners of the land, and through a combination of song and dance, architecture, story, and food, you gain an appreciation for Maori society. The powhiri (ceremony of welcome) ushers you into the village, from where you can immerse yourself in the way of life experienced many years ago.

Environmental Pest Plants
4.8.3 Indigenous forest on the range and plateaus The Kaimai forests were included in the National Forest Survey (NFS) of indigenous timber resources of 1946-55. The southern half of the ranges was systematically sampled in 1946-48 and the northern half sampled less intensively in 1951-52. These data were used for the compilation of forest type maps (Dale and James 1977). The northern ranges were further sampled by the Ecological Forest Survey in 1965-66, to provide data for more detailed ecological typing. Descriptions of vegetation composition and pattern on the range and plateaus are provided by Dale and James (1977), Clarkson (2002), and Burns and Smale (2002). Other vegetation maps are provided by Nicholls (1965, 1966a&b, 1967a&b, 1971a&b, 1974a, 1975). Further descriptive accounts are provided by Nicholls (1968, 1969, 1972, 1976a&b, 1978, 1983a-c, 1984, 1985a&b, 2002). Beadel (2006) provides a comprehensive overview of vegetation in the Otanewainuku Ecological District and also provides vegetation descriptions and vegetation type maps for privately-owned natural areas within the tract, such as at Te Waraiti and the Whaiti Kuranui Block. Humphreys and Tyler (1990) provide similar information for the Te Aroha Ecological District. A broad representation of indigenous forest pattern is provided in Figure 9. Tawa and kamahi (Weinmannia racemosa) with scattered emergent rimu and northern rata dominates forests on the Mamaku Plateau (Nicholls 1966, Smale et al. 1997). Rimu increases in abundance southwards across the plateau, as the contribution of coarse rhyolitic tephra to soils increased (Smale et al. 1997). Beeches (Nothofagus spp.) (beeches) are present locally on the plateau (Nicholls 1966).
