Amongst these harsh, daunting peaks you will find volcanic lakes, ancient forests, greenstone rivers, blue-ice glaciers and wide alluvial valleys that make up an area of amazing natural beauty, containing four national parks and a range of top quality ski areas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ski&lt;br /&gt;The Southern Alps (Ngā Pukemāeroero in Maori) include 18 ski areas, all within a few hours drive from Christchurch City. The New Zealand season runs from approximately mid June and finishes in the spring in October. Average base depth on the Southern Alps ski fields is around 104cm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hike&lt;br /&gt;Kiwis call it "tramping" - it's about putting a pack on your back and enjoying the freedom to explore New Zealand's backcountry. Whether you call it bushwalking, hiking or trekking, it's a great way to see more of New Zealand - and Canterbury is the best place to start. Skiing, Hiking, Biking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bike&lt;br /&gt;Canterbury itself is an amazing region for cyclists, with hundreds of kilometres of trails waiting to be explored. In the national parks, however, generally mountain biking is limited to the formed roads. However, there are a series of mountain biking events around the Alps that are popular and attract hundreds of keen cyclists each year, from around Lake Tekapo, to a ski/run/bike multisport race held annually at Mt Hutt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2560979962016106011-8136467354069087334?l=newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/8136467354069087334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/8136467354069087334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com/2010/09/skiing-hiking-biking-in-new-zealand.html' title='Skiing, Hiking, Biking  in New Zealand  - Canterbury Southern Alps'/><author><name>the one</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F3_wcbxwEtk/TJyGFul1LSI/AAAAAAAAFPE/jFoqGFJTTEM/s72-c/ft56f.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560979962016106011.post-8546991882069597247</id><published>2010-05-18T03:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-18T03:33:19.346-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Travel to New Zealand'/><title type='text'>Travel  to Christchurch New Zealand</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Study University &amp;amp; colleges, Vacantion, Cruise and find the Hotels, guest house, in Christchurch.

The local bus service, known as Metro, is provided by Environment Canterbury. The car, however, remains the dominant form of transport. The central city has very flat terrain and the Christchurch City Council is establishing a network of cycle lanes and paths.&lt;br /&gt;There is a functioning tram service in Christchurch, but as a tourist attraction, its loop is restricted to a circuit of the central city. The trams were originally introduced in 1905, ceased operating in 1954, but returned to the inner city (as a tourist attraction) in 1995. In addition to normal bus services, Christchurch also has a pioneering zero-fare hybrid bus service, the Shuttle, in the inner city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Climate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christchurch has a dry, temperate climate, with mean daily maximum air temperatures of 22.5 °C (72.5 °F) in January, 11.3 °C (52.3 °F) in July. Under Koppen's climate classification, Christchurch has an Oceanic climate. The summer climate is often moderated by a sea breeze from the Northeast, but a record temperature of 41.6 °C (107 °F) was reached in February 1973. A notable feature of the weather is the nor'wester, a hot föhn wind that occasionally reaches storm force, causing widespread minor damage to property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In winter&lt;/strong&gt; it is common for the temperature to fall below (32 °F) at night. There are on average 70 days of ground frost per year. Snow falls occur on average once or twice a year in the hill suburbs and about once or twice every two years on the plain.&lt;br /&gt;On cold winter nights, the surrounding hills, clear skies, and frosty calm conditions often combine to form a stable inversion layer above the city that traps vehicle exhausts and smoke from domestic fires to cause smog. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2560979962016106011-2523276874810094240?l=newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/2523276874810094240'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/2523276874810094240'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com/2010/05/visit-to-christchurch.html' title='Visit to Christchurch'/><author><name>the one</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F3_wcbxwEtk/S_Jmy99IXrI/AAAAAAAAEY4/kRxFcqcV-Xg/s72-c/sd.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560979962016106011.post-8940373169183173284</id><published>2010-05-18T02:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-18T02:55:19.210-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New Zealand travel and vacantion'/><title type='text'>Christchurch city, the Gateway to the Antarctic</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Cruise ship to Artarctica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 155px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 116px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472543651032326242" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F3_wcbxwEtk/S_JhdLGZ4GI/AAAAAAAAEYw/t19Q15g9tnM/s400/f.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Christchurch New Zealand &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;has a history of involvement in Antarctic exploration – both Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton used the port of Lyttelton as a departure point for expeditions, and there is a statue of Scott, sculpted by his widow, Kathleen Scott, in the central city.&lt;br /&gt;Within the city the Canterbury Museum preserves and exhibits many historic artifacts and stories of Antarctic exploration.&lt;br /&gt;Christchurch International Airport serves as the major base for the Italian and United States Antarctic programs as well as the New Zealand Antarctic programme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The International Antarctic Centre provides both base facilities and a museum and visitor centre focused upon current Antarctic activities.

Many species of bird life are also found locally, notably the endangered Takahe which can be found at the Fiordland Wildlife Park.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2560979962016106011-6978060895672497712?l=newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/6978060895672497712'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/6978060895672497712'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com/2008/06/te-anau-new-zealand.html' title='Te Anau New Zealand'/><author><name>the one</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F3_wcbxwEtk/SFAwPAFoFII/AAAAAAAAByU/g3tw7-5kiiE/s72-c/t2nz.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560979962016106011.post-2858463755412167397</id><published>2008-06-11T12:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T13:00:52.624-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='new zealand cities/town'/><title type='text'>Wanaka</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Vacation to New Zealand and the Accommodation (hotels &amp;amp; resort, Lodge or Villa) Visit and stay in&lt;/em&gt;: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210716094142646674" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F3_wcbxwEtk/SFAurhjIiZI/AAAAAAAAByM/fueb6U_81l8/s320/w2zn.JPG" border="0" /&gt;Wanaka&lt;/strong&gt; is a town in the Central Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand. The town of Wanaka is situated at the Southern end of Lake Wanaka. It is surrounded by mountains. It is the gateway to Mount Aspiring National Park. Wanaka is primarily a resort town but has both summer and winter seasons and is based around the many outdoor opportunities. Due to the growing tourism business and the increasing number of retirees in Wanaka.&lt;br /&gt;The Climate&lt;br /&gt;Wanaka is one of the few areas in New Zealand to enjoy a continental climate, with four distinct seasons. The weather is fairly dry with spring (September-December) bringing the wettest months. Annual rainfall is 682 mm which is half the national average. Wanaka experiences hot dry summers where the temperature can reach the high 30's but averages 24°C. Winter tends to have clear calm days with highs around 10°C&lt;br /&gt;These days, with its beautiful lake and mountain views, Wanaka has become a popular tourist resort, loved by many for being less commercialised than Queenstown.&lt;br /&gt;Wanaka boasts a growing number of excellent restaurants, cafes and a diverse nightlife. Other attractions in the town include Puzzling World and the Paradiso Cinema. Puzzling World contains a 3d maze, optical illusions and a leaning tower. The Paradiso is a classic old cinema, with seating of old coaches, chairs and a car. The walls are covered in movie posters and food, wine and beer is available at the interval. It is a unique experience. There are a number of wineries in the area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summer in Wanaka&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wanaka is host to some of New Zealand's best outdoor recreation with world-class mountain biking, hiking, climbing, mountaineering, fishing, paragliding, and watersports of all kinds. With one of New Zealand's sunniest climates, Wanaka is truly an adventure paradise. It is the access point to the highest mountain outside of the Mount Cook &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;region, Mt Aspiring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Winter in Wanaka&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Nearby are Treble Cone, Cardrona Alpine Resort and Snow Park, some of New Zealand's premier commercial ski fields. Wanaka is the main accommodation provider for these resorts and so is very busy in high season(July-September). It is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt; also close to Snow Farm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2560979962016106011-2858463755412167397?l=newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/2858463755412167397'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/2858463755412167397'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com/2008/06/wanaka.html' title='Wanaka'/><author><name>the one</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F3_wcbxwEtk/SFAurhjIiZI/AAAAAAAAByM/fueb6U_81l8/s72-c/w2zn.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560979962016106011.post-6169587108594687362</id><published>2008-06-11T12:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T12:49:11.442-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='new zealand cities/town'/><title type='text'>Wellington</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210713259895980354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F3_wcbxwEtk/SFAsGjKEgUI/AAAAAAAAByE/YKTZ-KwjKQ4/s320/w1nz.JPG" border="0" /&gt;Wellington city New Zealand the most populous national capital in Oceania and the southern-most capital city in the world. It is in the Wellington region at the southern tip of the North Island, near the geographical centre of the country.&lt;br /&gt;Like many cities, Wellington's urban area extends well beyond the boundaries of a single local authority. Greater Wellington or the Wellington Region means the entire urban area, plus the rural parts of the cities and the Kapiti Coast, and across the Rimutaka Range to the Wairarapa. Wellington is New Zealand's political centre, housing Parliament and the head offices of all government ministries and departments, plus the bulk of the foreign diplomatic missions based in New Zealand.&lt;br /&gt;Wellington's compact city centre supports an arts scene, café culture and nightlife much larger than most cities of a similar size. It is a centre of New Zealand's film and theatre industry. Te Papa Tongarewa (the Museum of New Zealand), the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, the Royal New Zealand Ballet and the biennial New Zealand International Arts Festival are all sited there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2560979962016106011-6169587108594687362?l=newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/6169587108594687362'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/6169587108594687362'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com/2008/06/wellington.html' title='Wellington'/><author><name>the one</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F3_wcbxwEtk/SFAsGjKEgUI/AAAAAAAAByE/YKTZ-KwjKQ4/s72-c/w1nz.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560979962016106011.post-3518684576076450618</id><published>2008-06-11T12:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T12:34:48.269-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hotel in New zealand'/><title type='text'>New zealand Cities Hotel</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210709278124935106" style="FLOAT: left;

You need to see it to understand, just describing it is not enough. Mind you, if you have seen some recent movies that were made in New Zealand, you probably have seen it and not realised. Those spectacular landscapes in the Lord of the Rings trilogy are based on New Zealand scenery.&lt;br /&gt;Sure they were computer enhanced, but only in places, and the real scenery is still there to be visited. Selected highlights are:&lt;br /&gt;Mount Cook: New Zealand's highest mountain, in the heart of the Southern Alps. Fiordland and Milford Sound: they built the road here, including a tunnel under the mountains, just for the tourists. Queenstown on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and with the other Southern Lakes in easy reach. Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers: in the Westland region.&lt;br /&gt;The Canterbury plains.&lt;br /&gt;Mount Ruapehu and Lake Taupo: volcanoes with lakes in them. White Island, one of New Zealand's more active volcanoes. Bay of Islands, where the Waitangi treaty house can be found and the place where New Zealand's founding document, the Treaty of Waitangi, was signed. The copies are now held by the Archives New Zealand in Wellington. Ninety Mile Beach. New Year Cruise to New Zealand, Or flight to NZ and holiday sleep at best motel, hotel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2560979962016106011-5558470460482223072?l=newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/5558470460482223072'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/5558470460482223072'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com/2007/11/tour-to-new-zealand.html' title='Tour to New Zealand'/><author><name>the one</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F3_wcbxwEtk/R0cccSQntiI/AAAAAAAAALM/m9lG167yDBA/s72-c/n.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560979962016106011.post-1253236628109489282</id><published>2007-11-23T09:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-09-24T04:16:40.397-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New Zealand travel and vacation'/><title type='text'>New Zealand Tour</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Travel And Vacation to Wellington, Dunedin, Auckland Christchurch, Queenstown, Rotorua, Nelson, Te Anau, &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Paihia, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136100452133746194" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F3_wcbxwEtk/R0cYJiQnthI/AAAAAAAAALE/48w4jQUmCT8/s320/w.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Tauranga, Napier, Hamilton, Greymouth, flight to cities in New Zealand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Go there for celebrate the New Year 2oo8 in In New Zealand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Visit the Havelock North, this a great base for exploring the Hawkes Bay wineries. and home to Te Mata peak. travel to Hokianga, is wild, beautiful, bi-cultural.

The most recent addition to New Zealand's national park portfolio, Rakiura is an enchanted world of unmodified ecosystems and habitats. From dense coastal rainforests and freshwater wetlands to vast sand dunes and granite mountain ranges, the park provides an exceptional opportunity to see native wildlife and primeval landscapes.Night time is very special in this park for other reasons too. While you're tucked up inside a Department of Conservation hut, nocturnal bird life provides an unforgettable chorus. Wacth the Kiwi bird, You'll hear the calls of ruru (the native owl), weka and kiwi. On Stewart Island, you have an excellent chance of seeing kiwi in the wild.During daylight, the serenade continues. Along with tui, bellbirds, tomtits, grey warblers and fantails, you'll hear red-crowned parakeets, bush parrots and Stewart Island robins. The coastal fringes of the island are home to three species of penguin, fernbirds, banded rails, weka and many kinds of seabird. Short and long walks in Rakiura National Park, the Stewart Island is a paradise for hikers. There are 245 kilometres of walking tracks, and they can all be accessed from the town of Oban. The 'Great Walk' on the island is the Rakiura Track, a circuit that takes three days to complete. For day-trippers, there's a range of short walks to enjoy, Fern Gully, Ryan's Creek, Horseshoe Point and Moturau Moana , to name just a few. Island sanctuary and kiwi spotting, A water taxi can take you to Ulva Island, an open sanctuary managed by the Department of Conservation. Its restored forest and lack of predators make it a safe environment for many rare bird and plant species. Two of three times a week, guided trips to Masons Bay provide the chance to watch kiwis eating sandhoppers at the beach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Accommodation Around Rakiura National Park.the Park is a one-hour ferry ride away from the South Island town of Bluff, where a full range of accommodation can be found (hotel Motel Villa lodge).

Towering, snow capped peaks reflect in the midnight blue fingers of ocean that reach into the park's thickly forested interior, where you can find trees that are more than 800 years old. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;For sheer drama, few places of earth can compete with this remarkable natural environment.These Park is defined as a u-shaped glacier-carved valley which has been flooded by the sea. The fourteen fiords that fringe the southwest corner of the South Island were 100,000 years in the making, with the final details added during the most recent ice age just 10,000 years ago. Maori attributed the creation of the fiords to a giant stonemason called Tute Rakiwhanoa, who hued out the steep sided valleys with his adzes. On all sides of the fiords, spectacular waterfalls tumble incessantly as the region's plentiful rainfall finds its way to the sea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Do/Activities on Fiordland National Park, Sea kayaking and diving, Several of the park can be explored by sea kayak, as can lakes Te Anau and Manapouri.

In summer, it's possible to walk from one valley to another over spectacular mountain passes.&lt;br /&gt;Mount Aspiring National Park presents a breathtaking range of landscapes. At its heart is a massive area of wilderness and glaciers, snowfields, mountains, valleys and wildlife habitats that require days of hiking to reach. To the west of the divide, where rainfall is plentiful, the beech forest comes with a sound track of birdsong and waterfalls. Deep in the glacier-gouged valleys of the east, grassy river flats are hemmed by imposing mountains. And above the tree line, subalpine gardens of tussock, lichens and dainty flowering herbs survive against all odds. Rock forms are an unforgettable feature of the park. From the curiously coloured slopes of the Red Hills to the brittle grey schist of the alps, ice ages and huge tectonic upheavals have created beauty with a hard edge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Activities and Do at Mount Aspiring National Park, try the Jetboating, some of the park's larger rivers are navigable by jet boat.

Two of them : the Fox and the Franz Josef - are the only glaciers in the world to flow down to temperate rainforest. For many travellers, the fast-moving Fox and Franz Josef glaciers are the primary reason to visit. They move up to four metres every day, which in the glacier world is uncommonly rapid (the Tasman Glacier, on the eastern side of the great divide, moves at only 650 millimetres a day). At the foot of each glacier, you can hear the grinding, crushing sounds of ancient ice forcing itself down the time-worn valleys. Between the glaciers and the sea, the park is a bird watcher's paradise. Rainforest and large areas of wetland shelter rare species such as the Okarito Brown Kiwi, Southern Crested Grebe (kamana) and White Heron (kotuku). Summer days range from 10 to 21°C. Winter days range from 2-12° C.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Do and Activities, watching the bird During the nesting season, local guides can take you to see the beautiful kotuku (white herons) in the Waitangi Roto Nature Reserve. Kayaking on lakes, or the Okarito lagoon, is another way to spy on the bird life. Walks with one day trek to the Welcome Flat hot pools requires a moderate level of fitness and outdoor experience. You'll need to stay overnight in the DOC hut (a hut ticket is required) before returning the next day. Mountaineering experience is essential for the historic Copland Track, which crosses the great divide.Feel.. There are several ways to experience the glaciers. You can walk to the terminus of either glacier, or hike through the bush to a viewing point. Another option is to join a guided glacier walk or ice climbing equipment is provided. Or you can take to the air and see the glaciers from a helicopter or small plane&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Hotel Motel lodge In the park, for climbers and ski-tourers, the Department of Conservation offers a series of alpine huts high in the park.

It is around 120,000 years old, and last erupted in 1775. Volcanologists agree that the mountain is 'dormant' rather than extinct.Maori legend provides an enchanting explanation for why Mt Taranaki stands alone. As the story goes, Taranaki once lived with the other volcanoes of the central plateau, Tongariro, Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe. When he made romantic advances to Pihanga, a pretty hill that they all admired, Tongariro jealously &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;blew his top (as volcanoes are inclined to do). Taranaki fled to the west, gouging the Whanganui River on his way.&lt;br /&gt; With snow-capped cone of Mt Taranaki lures visitors who appreciate geological phenomena. Apart from one small bump - a subsidiary vent called Fantham's Peak - the mountain's cone is beautifully symmetrical.

Above the forest you'll find sub-alpine scrub and alpine herbs. A comprehensive network of walking tracks provides access to the unique beauty of the park.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Activities on this Park, Egmont National Park has 13 entrances, making it one of New Zealand's most accessible wilderness areas. The 'Around the Mountain Circuit' takes 3 to 5 days to complete. The two-day Pouakai Circuit, starting and finishing at North Egmont, crosses over the Ahukawakawa Swamp and the remnants of the old Pouakai volcano. A variety of short walks can be found around Dawson Falls and East Egmont. Don't miss the Kamahi walk, at East Egmont, through the Goblin Forest.

The track around the lake is one of New Zealand's 'Great Walks'.The Park protects the largest area of native forest remaining in the North Island. The high, misty ridges are covered with silver and mountain beech. At lower levels, the forest is dominated by red beech, rimu, rata, tawa and kamahi. Nearly all of New Zealand's native birds live in the forest, including rare species such as the North Island brown kiwi, blue duck (whio), yellow-crowned parakeet (kakariki), bush parrot (kaka), New Zealand falcon (karearea) and the blue-wattled kokako.Activities in Te Urewera National Park, With an extensive track system, including the 3-day Lake Waikaremoana Track which leads around the western lake edge, climbing onto the crest of the Panekiri Range before dropping to the shoreline.

The park has a very distinctive landscape of river valley systems with steep slopes, razor-sharp ridges and an almost complete cover of native lowland forest. The park is at the centre of a large sedimentary basin, so the rocks are mostly mudstones, easily sculpted by the river into fascinating shapes. The Whanganui park is at the centre of a large sedimentary basin, so the rocks are mostly mudstones, easily sculpted by the river into fascinating shapes.See the bird, there are large numbers of kereru (native pigeon), piwakawaka (fantail), tui, toutouwai/ robin , riroriro/ grey warbler and miromiro/ tomtit .

In the interests of science, the boundaries of the park were carefully established to encompass a complete range of landscapes and ecosystems, from the granite and gneiss summits of the Paparoa Range down to the layered rock formations of Punakaiki. The Paparoa Limestone underlies most of the park, and is responsible for the area's impressive landforms. Sculptured mountain ridges, mysterious river canyons, delicate cave decorations and the bizarre.&lt;br /&gt;The park is the overlapping point between subtropical and cool climate trees. Nikau palms, northern rata and cabbage trees give the lowland rainforest a lush, Pacific feeling. Further up, silver beech forest merges with sub alpine shrubs. Higher still, daisies and gentians provide colour among the alpine tussocks. Some plants are unique to the area, suggesting that it was a botanic refuge during the ice ages. Birdlife is prolific in these Park. The endemic Westland Black Petrel breeds only on the Punakaiki coast, and the Great Spotted Kiwi combs the forest by night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Activities, Kayaking on the Pororari River is a peaceful way to soak up the ambience of the park. Highlights include a dramatic limestone gorge and bird spotting in the rainforest. The short track to the blowholes at Punakaiki is one of New Zealand's most travelled trails, with good reason. When high tides coincide with westerly swells, seawater geysers shoot for the sky. Behind Punakaiki there are accessible limestone caves - you'll need a torch.&lt;br /&gt;Local caving companies can help you to explore the deeper cave systems in the park, including the five kilometre Xanadu cave. Accommodation The Paparoa, the village of Punakaiki offers a choice of accommodation styles, Hotel Motel or from bed and breakfast to luxury seaview villas. There are no Department of Conservation hikers' huts in the park. Hikers walking the Inland Pack Track can park their tents at the Ballroom Overhang campsite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2560979962016106011-7296676453137021914?l=newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/7296676453137021914'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/7296676453137021914'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-zealand-and-amazing-vacantion.html' title='New Zealand and Amazing : vacantion'/><author><name>the one</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F3_wcbxwEtk/R0P80iQntOI/AAAAAAAAAIo/9X7Mb-Zlw-E/s72-c/d.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560979962016106011.post-6658000310079890146</id><published>2007-11-21T00:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-09-24T04:26:34.638-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New Zealand Vacation'/><title type='text'>The Spectacular of new Zealand : Travel</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;With 14 spectacular national parks preserve New Zealand's natural heritage.

While they may look cute, kiwi can be fierce and highly territorial. It is now endangered, and difficult to see in the wild. However, there are a number of ‘kiwi houses’ at zoos and wildlife parks. New Zealand’s moa was the only wingless bird ever known. The giant moa, one of eleven species of moa, was also the tallest known.&lt;br /&gt;Other well-known New Zealand native birds include the kea (native parrot), weka, takahe, tui, and morepork owl.New Zealand has abundant and diverse marine life, and whale watching and swimming with dolphins are two of New Zealand’s most highly recommended tourist experiences.&lt;br /&gt;The Living Fossil 'tuatara' is a unique relic of the past, the only beak-headed reptile left in the world.

In addition, Stewart Island and many smaller islands lie offshore. The North Island has a 'spine' of mountain ranges running through the middle, with gentle rolling farmland on both sides. The central North Island is dominated by the Volcanic Plateau, an active volcanic and thermal area. The massive Southern Alps form the backbone of the South Island. To the east of the Southern Alps is the rolling farmland of Otago and Southland, and the vast, flat Canterbury Plains. New Zealand sits on two tectonic plates - the Pacific and the Australian. Fifteen of these gigantic moving chunks of crust make up the Earth's surface. The North Island and some parts of the South Island sit on the Australian Plate, while the rest of the South Island sits on the Pacific.

Stretching from the north of the North Island to the bottom of the South, these mountains are caused by the collision of the Australian and Pacific Plates. Over millions of years, alluvial deposits (eroded from the mountains by rivers) formed the vast Canterbury Plains in the South Island and a number of smaller plains in the North. These alluvial plains contain some of New Zealand’s most fertile and productive farmland. New Zealand’s Southern Alps have a number of glaciers, the largest being Tasman glacier, which you can view by taking a short walk from Mount Cook village. New Zealand’s most famous glaciers are the Franz Josef and Fox on the South Island’s West Coast. Gouged out by moving ice over thousands of years, these spectacular glaciers are easily accessible to mountaineers and hikers. Over thousands of years, the process of subduction has seen parts of the New Zealand landscape become submerged.

Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch all receive on average in excess of 2000 hours of sunshine per annum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Travel and vacantion To NZ and finds best hotel, villas and bungalow in New Zealand.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2560979962016106011-7755961957123109112?l=newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/7755961957123109112'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/7755961957123109112'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-zealand.html' title='New Zealand'/><author><name>the one</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F3_wcbxwEtk/R0C6nCQntEI/AAAAAAAAAHY/l5PyF_yI66M/s72-c/2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560979962016106011.post-1199989189350492311</id><published>2007-10-03T09:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-03T09:53:06.220-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Travel to Australia New Zealand and South Pasific</title><content type='html'>VAcantion and holiday to New Zealand NZ,  Australia and South Pasific&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2560979962016106011-1199989189350492311?l=newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/1199989189350492311'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2560979962016106011/posts/default/1199989189350492311'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newzealand-australia-south-pasific.blogspot.com/2007/10/travel-to-australia-new-zealand-and.html' title='Travel to Australia New Zealand and South Pasific'/><author><name>the one</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
