“Pailing” and No 8. Wire

In New Zealand, roofs are traditionally made of corrugated galvanised iron. How that sound when it rains heavily you can hear here:

Rain hitting the pailing

And the wire? Here No. 8 wire is used like gaffer tape.

Okura Bush Walkway

To get some exercise – we did more or less hang out the last couple days – we took a hike on the Okura Bush Walkway. Unfortunately the DOC is currently doing work on the track so that the way way blocked after wbout one third and there was no bypass. At least we collected GC38F0J and GC38F0C on the way.

Maps of New Zealnd

The New Zealand land surveying office, Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) / Toitu te whenua, provides topographic maps of New Zealand on their website. The maps are in TIFF format and the available scales are 1:50000 and 1:250000.

The NZ Open GPS Project provides up to date and routing capable streep maps for Garmin GPS receivers.

With the help of the OSM Composer and a few other tools you can build topographic maps from the raw data of the Open Street Map project and the NASA radar data that can be used with Garmin GPS receivers.

The Department of Conservation (DOC) is the ideal starting point to get up to date information on tracks and huts.
