Re: South island plans after Christmas.

Hey Everyone

My two of my friends have pulled out of a 10 day tramp from St Arnand to Lewis pass due to injury. My friend and I (who still want to go) are thinking it would be great to have one or two people to join us. We start tramping on 27 Dec and are planning to be finished on 5 January 2011. You would need to organise your own transport. Let me know if you are keen to join us.

Thanks Katie (flossyourhair@yahoo.co.nz)

Hey Everyone

I have paid for our permits and booked the ferry so it is too late to come on this trip. If you would like to come to Kapiti Island on the same day as us you need to organise your own permit, ferry bookings and transport.

Check out the doc website for more information

Hey Everyone

The trip to Kapiti Island is on Saturday 11 September. It is a day trip. We will meet at Hunter Carpark about 8am. The cost is about $70 (including $11 for permit, $55 for ferry and petrol). We will travel on the 9 or 9.30am ferry and come back at 3 or 3.30pm. I will organise the tickets and permits this week. Can you please confirm that you are coming because the permits are non refundable. Can you also let me know if you have a car and would like to drive. Thanks Katie

Here are the people who I know are coming. Add your name to the list if you are definatly coming as well. I will need your contact details and emergency contact details as well. Please email me.

Re: Pukaha Mt Bruce trip 12 June 2010

Hello everyone

My name is Katie and I will be running the trip to Pukaha Mount Bruce on Saturday 12 June 2010 where we will visit the Wildlife Reserve.It is located on State Highway 2 between Masterton (approximately 30km) and Eketahuna (approximately 10km).This is toward the east coast, on New Zealand's North Island. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Wellington.

Mount Bruce is a wildlife reserve that is breeding and protecting the native birds of New Zealand. It also restores and protects the bush. Check out the website for more information. http://www.mtbruce.org.nz/

The cost is $15 per person to enter the reserve + petrol. You can bring your own lunch or eat at the cafe. Bring warm clothes and a raincoat because we will still go if it is wet. It is easy trip. Sneakers okay.

We will leave Wellington at 10am to be there about 12pm. There is a eel information talk and feeding at 1.30pm and the kaka circus on at 3pm. I have been to the kaka circus and it is awesome. There are soo many kakas and they are soo close to you. We should be back to Wellington between 6-7pm.

I will be a the meeting 8 June 2010 for sign ups.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to seeing you on the trip, Katie

Underneath is a blurb and link of a segment on CloseUp about bringing Kiwi's to Mount Bruce.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Oh, it's definitely a bird& but how 30 flightless kiwis were up in the sky is another thing.

It was risky and complicated, and involved over 100 people, a helicopter, and even the man-power and resources of the Air Force.

The aim? To transport 30 boxes, each containing a kiwi, from Little Barrier all the way to Pukaha, Mount Bruce, to boost the population at the Southern North Island forest.

Close Up got a close look behind the scenes of the biggest ever trans-location of New Zealand's native bird.
