“The Mokihinui River” & “The Tale of Two Rivers” - film screenings

natalie — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 02:17:27 GMT

In case you're interested...

The Mokihinui River documentary is part of the Rivers series that recently screened on PrimeTV. Photographer, and Forest & Bird Executive member Craig Potton explores the untouched wilderness of the West Coast’s Mokihinui River.

The Tale of Two Rivers looks at the struggle for power on the West Coast. It looks at some of the proposed hydro-electric schemes for the West Coast including the one proposal to dam the Mokihinui and one for using waste water at the Stockton mine.

After the films there will be an opportunity to ask an expert panel about New Zealand Rivers and the Mokihinui. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards Forest & Bird’s Wild Rivers Campaign.

Thursday 18th November, drinks & nibbles @6pm, film screenings @6:30pm. Paramount Theatre, Courtenay Place, Wellington. Tickets: $20 waged, $15 unwaged (incl. Drinks & nibbles), and can be purchased by clicking on this link to the Forest & Bird website, or buying them from Forest & Bird’s reception at Level 1, 90 Ghuznee St. For more info, contact Jolene Molloy, 04 801 2213, or j.molloy@forestandbird.org.nz.

I'd be interested in that. Do we need a bunch of people to sign up or is there already a group going to tag along with?

Trust me, they weren't looking happy.

A woman would have realised from the outset that carrying a heavy rock up a hill would not make her happy.

A man only realises this half way up the hill and is too stubborn to admit it.

If being a man means you're silly enough to haul a 13kg rock out from totara flats to holdsworth, I think most women will agree they are happier as they are!

Re: Aorangis/Cape Palliser trip this weekend

OK, the plan for this weekend is to drive round to Cape Palliser some time on Saturday, find a place to camp where we can enjoy the sunshine, swim by the waterfalls, scramble around the rocks and drink beer. We’ll go for a bit of a day walk on Sunday, maybe for a mission to find the mysterious Frog tarn (just cos it sounds cool).

People planning to come so far:

- Natalie

- Hazel

- Kieran (car)

- Jeremy

- Miri

- Scott W

- Jason

- Adam

- Craig S (?)

- Peter (?)

Anyone else want to come? (you know you want to!)

Kieran has offered to drive, but we’ll need at least 1 more car going at this stage. Who else is happy to bring a car along? What time does everyone (particularly drivers) want to leave on Saturday?

Another option, if anyone else is keen for an actual tramp is to leave Friday night, camp at the Putangirua Pinnacles and on Saturday walk up to Pararaki Hut. On Sunday continue on past Kawakawa and Mangatoetoe huts out to Cape Palliser. Let me know if anyone is up for that.

Lost knee brace

natalie — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:25:52 GMT

Did anyone come across a (rather muddy looking) knee brace during midwinter christmas? The last place I remember it was at Tutuwai last night. Please let me know if you picked it up.

Cheers.

Midwinter Christmas!

Hey everyone,

This weekend is our midwinter Christmas tramp! The plan is to head to Mangahao flats hut in the tararuas on Saturday (meeting at Hunter carpark at 8am) and come back out again on sunday.

It's going to be an awesome trip with lots of yummy Christmas food, so if you want to come (why wouldn’t you?!) and haven’t signed up already - email me asap!

If you’ve already signed up, but haven’t had an email from me – let me know. My email is pilchenata@student.vuw.ac.nz
