ENTRY REQUIREMENTS All visitors require a passport valid for at least 3 months after their planned departure date. Non Australian passport holders can obtain requirements from the New Zealand Immigration Service. PO Box 4130, Wellington, New Zealand. Website www.immigration.govt.nz

The New Zealand Book 2013-14 Australian Dollars

HEALTH INSURANCE NZ provides a high level of treatment in both public & private hospitals, however these services are not free, except in the case of an accident whereby visitors are covered under the local Accident Compensation Scheme for personal injury. It is strongly recommended that you have your own private travel insurance.

DRIVING

230/240 volts, the same as Australia & Europe. 3 prong plugs are used. Appliances designed for DC supply or different voltages need a transformer.

A full New Zealand, Australian, English language or International Licence is required to hire most vehicles (& must be sighted at commencement of hire). Min. age 21 years. Motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road & operate right-hand drive vehicles. Wearing seatbelts is mandatory. Speed limits are generally 100kph (60mph) on open roads & 50kph (30mph) through towns unless otherwise stated. Fuel prices vary from NZ$2.05 per litre for petrol to approx NZ$1.42 for diesel per litre. Don’t drink & drive! At the time of printing the legal alcohol limit for drivers was 80mg alcohol per 100ml of blood. Rental cars are not permitted on unsealed roads. We urge you to fully read your rental contracts before signing as conditions vary between companies.

BANKING

IMPORTANT

There are no restrictions on the amount of foreign currency that can be taken in or out of New Zealand. Banks operate from Monday to Friday 9am- 4pm and are willing to change travellers cheques, as are large shops and hotels, however at a slightly lower rate. Credit cards are accepted throughout the country with Visa & American Express being the most popular. Automated Teller Machines (ATM) are widely available.

Travel Insurance vs Car Insurance - Personal travel insurance is a contract between the insurance company & YOU. It is NOT between the rental car company & the insurance company. Therefore you’ll need to negotiate a level of insurance cover with the car company & any claims will be deducted from your credit card. It’s then up to you to reclaim it from your travel insurance company if appropriate.

GOODS & SERVICES TAX (GST) All goods and services in New Zealand are subject to a 15% Goods & Services Tax (GST) included in our prices. Visitors cannot claim a refund on this tax.

ELECTRICITY

CLIMATE New Zealand has a temperate climate. Winter temperatures (May-Aug) can range from 0ºC to 18ºC (32ºF-65ºF) & summer from 9ºC to 26ºC (48ºF-79ºF). Because of its latitude & wide ranging altitude, New Zealand’s weather can change quickly. Days outside of the above averages are not uncommon. It is recommended that a warm windproof jacket be carried during all seasons. Note: Due to the lack of air pollution it is easy to burn in the sun, even on relatively cool days.

Discover New Zealand by Rail Let us take the worry out of travel, just sit back and relax and take in the beautiful scenery that New Zealand is so famous for on some of the world’s best train journeys. Travel through the heartland of New Zealand’s North Island, hug the rugged Pacific coast between Picton and Kaikoura or experience the grandeur of the Southern Alps between Christchurch and Greymouth. Each journey offers a unique way to experience New Zealand.

In 2013 the experience has got even better To make the most of the spectacular scenery these new air-conditioned carriages feature oversized side windows combined with unique skylight roof windows for a truly panoramic view. Relax in specially designed seating configured either in pairs around tables, or as recliners that can be rotated to face whichever direction the train is travelling. Below the floor advanced smooth glide air suspension means a smooth and quiet ride. Although the carriage windows are made of non-tinted, non-reflective glass – ideal for taking photos through – there is also an outside viewing car where nothing gets between you and a great photo, everytime. And inside you keep track of the journey with an automated at seat journey commentary via headphones, plus route information displayed on the overhead HD video screens. And when it’s time for something to eat or drink, the café car is the place to sample unique and tasty local cuisine washed down with renowned New Zealand wines or boutique beers.

Want to do it all? If it’s difficult choosing between rail trips, why not do the lot? Our range of Throughfares connect the North and South Island destinations by combining the Coastal Pacific train with either the Interislander ferry or a Sounds Air scenic flight.

Our friends did the TranzAlpine last year and said it was a highlight of their kiwi holiday, we couldn’t come all the way to New Zealand and not do it too. Graeme and Jean from Milton Keynes.

Collingwood - Farewell Spit Tours This is your chance to visit one of NZ’s undiscovered gems. At 35 kms long & more protected than a National Park, public access to Farewell Spit is usually restricted to the first 4 kms, however this tour travels the full length of the spit aboard a robust 4WD vehicle

Farewell Spit Eco Tour - Highlights includes Cape Farewell, the South Island’s most northerly point and home to seals and their pups. Fossil Point, where old fossils expose themselves among the rocks and sea life abounds in rock pools nearby. 30 km along the ocean beach is the Lighthouse reserve, where we pause for 45 minutes or so to climb the lighthouse, check out the view, learn some of the maori legends about the spit, have refreshments in our lighthouse keepers cottage and soak up some history. Returning from the lighthouse, we climb a sandhill for panoramic views of the ocean beach, the parade of dunes along the centre of the spit and the inter-tidal plain where the migrant waders from the arctic circle feed during our spring summer and autumn. Farewell Spit truly is a nature-lover’s paradise. Departing from Collingwood, tour duration is 6.5 hours. As you travel along the beach, actual departure times are dependent on the tides and will be advised on confirmation of booking. $147 Adult $59 Child (under 16 yrs) Note: as it is 2.5 hours drive from Nelson to Collingwood, we recommend over-nighting in Takaka pre or post this tour. Other tour options available on request.

Guided Walks of Fiordland

A little preparation will ensure the trip of a lifetime! Whilst not extreme, many people consider the Milford and/ or Routeburn Tracks to be a personal challenge. The terrain is often steep and the track surface can vary from flat and maintained, to rocky and even flooded at times. A moderate level of fitness is recommended to ensure that you are able to fully enjoy these walks. If you are not a regular walker, we suggest you begin a regime 6 to 8 weeks before departure, gradually increasing the distance and adding some hills into your training circuit. The weather in Fiordland can be very unpredictable. Please adhere to our recommended equipment list and be prepared for every eventuality, as it is not uncommon to experience snow in the middle of summer. A full information pack detailing your walk and how to prepare will be issued upon booking. ANZCRO is happy to answer any questions.

Whanganui Journey ( Kayak and Independent Walk) Despite being a river journey, the Whanganui is part of New Zealand’s Great Walks network. The Whanganui River winds its way from the mountains to the Tasman Sea through a landscape of valleys and hills in the central west of the North Island. The journey along the Whanganui River has been documented as far back as 1100AD when Te Atihaunui, a Paparangi people, established themselves. Distance: 88 km / Duration: 5 days/4 nights (3 days kayak/walking) Inclusions: • Pre & Post Accommodation at Park Travellers Lodge in Whakapapa National Park Village (Day 1 & Day 5) • Transportation ex National Park to and from the river • 3 Day Canoe Hire and Equipment • 2 nights in Department of Conservation Huts

Independent Kayak/Walking Guide: Day 2 - Whakahoro to John Coull Hut - 37.5 km / 7 hrs

Below Whakahoro you enter the scenic middle reaches of the river. Here you will paddle through deep gorges draped in vegetation and often featuring numerous waterfalls after heavy rain. Past Mangapapa Campsite take a long loop around the Kirikiriroa Peninsula before passing Tarepokioere Rapid and then a large overhang known as Tamatea’s Cave. Please do not enter the cave which is wãhi tapu (a scared place). Below Ohauora Campsite enter the long Otaihanga Reach which leads you to your overnight stop at John Coull Hut. To avoid losing your canoe or kayak to possible rising river levels remember to haul it high up on the bank and tie it to something secure.

Day 4 - Tieke Hut to Pipiriki - 21.5 km / 4 hrs

The river still has a few surprises to offer on this homeward stretch. You can explore the scenic gorge of the Manganui o te Ao River where it enters the Whanganui river after it’s journey from the slopes of Mt Ruapehu. The standing waves of the large Ngaporo and Autapu rapids can provide plenty of excitement and perhaps a cool dip on a hot day. As you get close to end of your trip you will pass through farmland and exotic trees. One last rapid, the Paparoa rapid, and you will see the boat ramp below the Pipiriki Village.

Day 3 - John Coull Hut to Tieke Hut - 29 km / 5 hrs

On this section, follow the river as it meanders through bush covered hills and passes the mouths of the Tangarakau and Whangamomona Rivers as they join the Whanganui River. At Mangawaiiti Landing stop paddling for 40 minutes and take the bush walk to the historic Bridge to Nowhere. Back in your canoe continue your trip down stream to Tieke Kainga where you can examine the intricately carved pou whenua and learn about the history of Tieke and the tikanga (protocol) of the marae.

The track crosses many stream beds as it undulates its way past a series of volcanic cones and lava flows Great views can be had of both Mt Ngauruhoe and Mt Tongariro. The final hour of the walk skirts around the small volcanic cone of Pukekaikiore until you reach the Mangatepopo Valley & hut.

Day 4 - Oturere Hut to Waihohonu Hut 7.5 km / 3 hours After leaving the hut the track undulates southward over a number of stream valleys and open gravel fields.

The track follow the Mangatepopo Stream up the valley climbing over a succession of lava flows. A five minute side trip at the head of the valley takes you to Soda Springs a cold spring that emerges from under an old lava flow. The steep climb to reach the Mangatepopo Saddle rewards climbers on a clear day with views of the valley and way to the west Mt Taranaki. A side trip (3 hours return) to the summit of Mt Ngauruhoe (2287m) is possible from here in fine weather. At the top of Red Crater there is access to the summit of Mt Tongariro (1967m) Blue lake is visible from this point and a 30 minute side trip will take you there. From Red Crater follow the ridge down to the Emerald Lakes. From here the track descends steeply into the Oturere valley and waves its way through the jagged lava flows from past eruptions of Red Crater. The Oturere Hut is located on the eastern edge of these flows.

The track follows the Waihohonu Stream west, gradually climbing to Tama Saddle. On reaching the saddle the track branches to the right to Tama Lakes. It is about a 10 minute walk to the lower lake and a further 35 minute climb up a steep ridge to the upper lake(allow 1hour 30 minutes return from the main track). Whakapapa Village is approximately 2 hours walk from the Tama Lakes junction.
