As most of you will know or have gathered I have been struggling to write blogs over the last couple of years. I have so much else happening with various social media accounts & websites to update plus photographs to take & process that my blogs have taken a back seat. I tend to usually write long & detailed blogs with lots of photos & this along with the research I need to do on the area I'm writing about usually ties me up for quite a number of hours over several days. </i></p><p><i>I'm now going see if I can do shorter blogs with not so many photos & detail & post more frequently. Many of the blogs will follow a similar format to the photos & information I post on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/shellieevansphotography" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> so there might be a bit of doubling up but I know I have quite a number of followers that don't do Facebook so it'll be new to them. Fingers crossed this works otherwise I might have to put my blog to sleep for awhile. </i></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bushy Park Homestead</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgithnPQuFhTARRVPeCqVPu4vxJNxxiNhj3oW9lNqlZu3NdOKVZH7NtciB22rFX1d9X4q4zIaNfSqnivSKh4LZ9ZOfQASPNOOrB5CUbGld7bEqn8iB24ROr4ERvJ-9e_tSbirX_1e29EhrPahyegA9HMV43wnNaBhFujYL3zxBpU2wYKSXkcnYbhN5ygQ/s5533/LRSM-4302.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3689" data-original-width="5533" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgithnPQuFhTARRVPeCqVPu4vxJNxxiNhj3oW9lNqlZu3NdOKVZH7NtciB22rFX1d9X4q4zIaNfSqnivSKh4LZ9ZOfQASPNOOrB5CUbGld7bEqn8iB24ROr4ERvJ-9e_tSbirX_1e29EhrPahyegA9HMV43wnNaBhFujYL3zxBpU2wYKSXkcnYbhN5ygQ/w400-h266/LRSM-4302.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Bushy Park Homestead</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTG6AdSW9fBdWd2bnes7FjiB7VfcQJ1R9y8F5YgiQwLl4Gnv1iiKB_2qDTl-45Nrfg62Psr2CtiB4BQHq-9M3vvZz-gRMeFisfhGkamqPKYn-F827yStgwwky7MMJkLwhM5zEi02Sv52_4KzP5KSuacpEmiZCX9I9AeR8GOzXCeSt4Iut6lY2sRjtz3A/s5568/LRSM-4302a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3712" data-original-width="5568" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTG6AdSW9fBdWd2bnes7FjiB7VfcQJ1R9y8F5YgiQwLl4Gnv1iiKB_2qDTl-45Nrfg62Psr2CtiB4BQHq-9M3vvZz-gRMeFisfhGkamqPKYn-F827yStgwwky7MMJkLwhM5zEi02Sv52_4KzP5KSuacpEmiZCX9I9AeR8GOzXCeSt4Iut6lY2sRjtz3A/w400-h266/LRSM-4302a.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xdj266r x126k92a" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bushy Park Homestead is an Edwardian-era homestead registered as a Category I heritage building by Heritage New Zealand.

many of you will know, my wife Shellie is a very passionate photographer and adores
the Mackenzie District especially during winter with the incredible hoar frosts
and snow falls amongst other things. Also, with us now having an interest in
Twizel (</span><a href="https://nightskycottages.co.nz/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Night Sky Cottages</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">) it has meant spending more time there and our
heaters were very often working overtime during the many days & nights of sub-zero
temperatures. </span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The heaters (we have two 2.2kw heaters) were starting to show signs of
excessive smoking at start up and servicing was well overdue. Although I
consider I am reasonably handy and certainly quite capable of removing the
heaters from their locations, I was reluctant to strip them down for servicing
even after watching several very informative You Tube clips. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijP6FNH1A2zcxQXmoSylg9gwveEDD3CFVhOFAgL5cgdfd1tMxCBSiWD7k19wV842HKX5tpLqvPW8IlVkpHBjA4J3uZGxKooJRp3WSyycZPtWspfHJye_Vcp0gwUWpQbZvQaFBNdgvblo8qwgvTkxEIuFu0ylouM6B-NwtBqG39eVTnp6ahSN6196eqHA/s5263/007.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3509" data-original-width="5263" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijP6FNH1A2zcxQXmoSylg9gwveEDD3CFVhOFAgL5cgdfd1tMxCBSiWD7k19wV842HKX5tpLqvPW8IlVkpHBjA4J3uZGxKooJRp3WSyycZPtWspfHJye_Vcp0gwUWpQbZvQaFBNdgvblo8qwgvTkxEIuFu0ylouM6B-NwtBqG39eVTnp6ahSN6196eqHA/w400-h266/007.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Another
surprise I found out after doing quite a bit of research on the internet was
that some parts were indicated to be in short supply for our model heaters mainly

this research I came across a company called <a href="https://heatport.co.nz/" target="_blank">HEATPORT</a> who specialised in diesel
heaters. They are located in Cheviot, North Canterbury and as we had a trip to
Christchurch planned I decided to extend our travel and visit their operation.

located off the beaten track, I was immediately impressed the moment I entered HEATPORT’s
factory and the photos included in this blog post should clearly endorse my
first impressions. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Also, after talking to the owner, Pango, and his serviceman
Tomas, it was obvious that their knowledge for diesel heaters was extensive and
that they were very enthusiastic for what they were doing. Consequently I had
no hesitation in booking my two heater units in for a thorough service.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUgkaob8wfnTYG0p1X36ByhJLxRAJWWoaluqnScJMYXBK_TxWMq1mQVJHZJmAPCpTpRO_9oUwsEFwgNcc3kv-_9DAXVLHcFpNzFhZeGRoAWel6nKOg4bFgZtQmjNbLhXZGVcrtxQCGYw_C6TyrA674My_bxc1sEQJWsp7RLM5p0a7ExLCYO7vdiqygWQ/s5048/004.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5048" data-original-width="3365" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUgkaob8wfnTYG0p1X36ByhJLxRAJWWoaluqnScJMYXBK_TxWMq1mQVJHZJmAPCpTpRO_9oUwsEFwgNcc3kv-_9DAXVLHcFpNzFhZeGRoAWel6nKOg4bFgZtQmjNbLhXZGVcrtxQCGYw_C6TyrA674My_bxc1sEQJWsp7RLM5p0a7ExLCYO7vdiqygWQ/w266-h400/004.jpg" width="266" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tomas & Pango with friendly dog Sarah</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"></span><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We

of their recommended service plan is to firstly do a full heater diagnosis to
analyse the heater’s overall condition followed by a visual inspection and also
to test the pump for the correct flow. The results showed most things were
working fine but both the heat chambers were quite badly contaminated. By far
the cheapest option was to replace the parts. One heater was also found to have a
damaged glow plug assembly which was probably caused by some poor servicing in
the past. This also needed replacement.</span></div><p></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After

It is thought the seeds arrived in ship's ballast in the early 20th century. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgse8Dd1MeSyvh8Lo7xwrHaxXeYG_a8KLPiFciznOSTLtKdLWrRlFpWChSlG2UlVGQmbcmNIyi-fyR8w460-jnW4_eQLjV7NoTNMlVd4ngnJsI9zTFXKnCDBAc6pmoBwPaVWnoHi1_OM3olsFxChXh8Mlm2EsjOMP7voYH8l87wEXbVgR__wU-iUu2UjQ/s5220/zz02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3480" data-original-width="5220" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgse8Dd1MeSyvh8Lo7xwrHaxXeYG_a8KLPiFciznOSTLtKdLWrRlFpWChSlG2UlVGQmbcmNIyi-fyR8w460-jnW4_eQLjV7NoTNMlVd4ngnJsI9zTFXKnCDBAc6pmoBwPaVWnoHi1_OM3olsFxChXh8Mlm2EsjOMP7voYH8l87wEXbVgR__wU-iUu2UjQ/w400-h266/zz02.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Wairoa River is Northland's longest river at 150km and was once used by kauri & flax traders.

Thanks to a phenomenon called the Russell McPherron effect, auroras are known to be more frequent and brighter than usual in spring and autumn. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Close to the equinoxes the alignment of the interplanetary magnetic field and Earth’s magnetic field is such that the two opposing fields can cancel each other out. This creates holes in Earth’s magnetosphere through which particles from the solar wind can flow, giving rise to auroras when they interact with the atmosphere. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The flights are also planned around the moon phase, a bright moon restricts aurora visibility, so flights are timed close to a new moon when the sky is dark.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjX-waBmfPRUqyvvzddRQohZGOA6bTyH1TvOWwTAa6DlrRfC89y9veJAZUBzIR3QS2knZikp1oyUIP-bP4DiNQwbDe8PE5VaG6RyDQOay02xRSAIgtCX16NAYPkyJwfI44M_OdaY1qGLSkYD6J_2WK4h5-31R2-cSFuZE6pgjv2o2ssXS5WOGMZZu_jAg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3536" data-original-width="5304" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjX-waBmfPRUqyvvzddRQohZGOA6bTyH1TvOWwTAa6DlrRfC89y9veJAZUBzIR3QS2knZikp1oyUIP-bP4DiNQwbDe8PE5VaG6RyDQOay02xRSAIgtCX16NAYPkyJwfI44M_OdaY1qGLSkYD6J_2WK4h5-31R2-cSFuZE6pgjv2o2ssXS5WOGMZZu_jAg=w400-h266" width="400" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"></span></div></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Once checked in & through security we had a pre-flight meet &

for better aurora viewing. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Casting an eye over the Departure Board I see that
our flight, NZ1914, is flying to Christchurch. An unusual sight as all the

minutes during the aurora viewing period. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But don’t worry, we flew for 6 hours

known as ‘magnetic midnight’. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Though our ultimate flight path would depend on

magnetic poles align between the Sun and the Earth; it's said to be the optimum

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Full in-flight service is available on the flight (dinner, snacks &
breakfast) and we’d only just finished dinner- about 2hrs into the flight- when
an excited call came through from the flight deck to inform us that the aurora
had been spotted on the horizon. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I leaned into the window trying to
shield the camera from the cabin lights & clicked a couple of photos off
just to be sure they weren’t fibbing & sure enough two bright green
auroral bands appeared on my camera’s back screen. There was a hurried rush
around the cabin to clear the trays and turn the entertainment screens &
interior lights off.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCB9jc6co7QBnr7HAqtOFblut8602NRfe5-TgxWtkjZJtC77gPs-BYX-bHNErKrV94CRou_4HYQXCwdj3_dKVsJZ-wHZgPOp37TGo8wYudRT5xiHfqrxmDTJTdeJaS8xmOZ6sr2G82sBua4YUtLehqVxGMpLSpabm3RfvDcaaCZyDZAkOtjXdTTb4Yiw/s5118/LRSM-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3412" data-original-width="5118" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCB9jc6co7QBnr7HAqtOFblut8602NRfe5-TgxWtkjZJtC77gPs-BYX-bHNErKrV94CRou_4HYQXCwdj3_dKVsJZ-wHZgPOp37TGo8wYudRT5xiHfqrxmDTJTdeJaS8xmOZ6sr2G82sBua4YUtLehqVxGMpLSpabm3RfvDcaaCZyDZAkOtjXdTTb4Yiw/w400-h266/LRSM-.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The most important thing to do to view an aurora is to allow our eyes to
adjust to the darkness. It can take up to 20 minutes for our pupils to fully
dilate and even a glimpse of bright light for just a few seconds will set your
dark adaptation back several minutes. This is why there is complete darkness in
the cabin of the aircraft and also why people with cameras need to have them
ready to go before the flight. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUFNnmKBSKxf2eNnwFIH-h1O_pDwki5rnnzRlR1pc3yTmtzLErTii0BBwbnyR8vcNjFI8icU4Aw2J_Pr5kkYlzFdsTkx9ozl75jXX2ly4wQKjuOVF_Ycm9QbdICInf0ReU2GFltP6A1goRvYKfUlddwp0u9DZjkLAEIOLB8zhV3JF5itmbmRPNsjezAA/s5459/LRSM-3311%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3639" data-original-width="5459" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUFNnmKBSKxf2eNnwFIH-h1O_pDwki5rnnzRlR1pc3yTmtzLErTii0BBwbnyR8vcNjFI8icU4Aw2J_Pr5kkYlzFdsTkx9ozl75jXX2ly4wQKjuOVF_Ycm9QbdICInf0ReU2GFltP6A1goRvYKfUlddwp0u9DZjkLAEIOLB8zhV3JF5itmbmRPNsjezAA/w400-h266/LRSM-3311%20(2).jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">To enhance the aurora viewing experience even

thousands of kilometres; we’re the only ones flying around a dark empty sky on

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Though our eyes aren't sensitive enough to see the bright colours that
show on the camera screen & in photos, you can sometimes see a hint
of green & pink, with younger eyes seeing more colour. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I could certainly
see the huge shimmering curtains and pulsing waves as the aurora moved about,
along with shooting beams reaching from far below us to high into the heavens
above. An aurora becomes visible when high-energy particles from the sun rain down
on Earth. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF7o38lYYA0znZ4OPR8By9n8ATKn2_NfDzpjaSl21GHTVDuEfg2QPyuSgfHPJIkTzJY2hJeM7jY04FtD1Vo0kGYBFqdUY9BPZqYv_IO9mgKBMMr6cWl4KMOGkf4Hfbt0UHoy8ny0RZhckrdDG3GweATfeuiegbhvooPsPVSYnxrLfG5VKsdugOVepDYw/s5252/LRSM-4005.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3501" data-original-width="5252" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF7o38lYYA0znZ4OPR8By9n8ATKn2_NfDzpjaSl21GHTVDuEfg2QPyuSgfHPJIkTzJY2hJeM7jY04FtD1Vo0kGYBFqdUY9BPZqYv_IO9mgKBMMr6cWl4KMOGkf4Hfbt0UHoy8ny0RZhckrdDG3GweATfeuiegbhvooPsPVSYnxrLfG5VKsdugOVepDYw/w400-h266/LRSM-4005.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As these particles get closer to us, they interact with the Earth’s
magnetic field and this channels them in the direction of both magnetic poles
(hence only seeing the aurora close to the South or North Poles). As the
particles are accelerated downwards, they hit atoms in our upper atmosphere
(ranging from 90km to 700km high) and this process results in a glowing field
of excited gas. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This is what gives us an incredible natural light show and the
range of colours; oxygen causes the fluorescent green and yellow colour
of the aurora (the most common), nitrogen the blue and red colours and
sometimes pink, while neon turns the aurora orange.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The Wairere Boulders are not like the spherical concretions at Koutu, these
boulders are generally larger and are a more jumbled selection that at
first glance seemed to have been tossed down a narrow valley by an
incredible force. The Wairere Boulders are basalt rock, many of them are ridged
and have deeply scored patterns on them. </span><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgi7jXtmL5HcmEHpcdOZPixxlmLZqnU61d7DZRyz7hFFZhko862AixUEMXTPKzzyxGVGO34no-VuXTx_2rKCmZzCRJxE51D5-YWarwaQamRBz78EpthkFFQT2AMVBNTp8pd-xF8UtQxlEGa8YQcdKZyG-ejuSw297xAePpV1QTdR_ZcxfFoQzgzF0GJFw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3712" data-original-width="5568" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgi7jXtmL5HcmEHpcdOZPixxlmLZqnU61d7DZRyz7hFFZhko862AixUEMXTPKzzyxGVGO34no-VuXTx_2rKCmZzCRJxE51D5-YWarwaQamRBz78EpthkFFQT2AMVBNTp8pd-xF8UtQxlEGa8YQcdKZyG-ejuSw297xAePpV1QTdR_ZcxfFoQzgzF0GJFw=w400-h266" width="400" /></a></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">These rocks were formed by lava from
an eruption at nearby Lake Omapere 2.5 million years ago. They once lay underneath
a kauri forest but over time the acidic rain has eroded the rocks below the
soil and they have cracked and broken apart The surrounding soil has then
washed away exposing the stranded boulders, some nearly 10m high. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjuGuyovEia6UVXSAg-D9mcJ0fwZNF0zVYSYA0GeU4FbtTAWZ_BQJfHBnybuNBoA6MCZgJggOCRjaJnc8B1ylZGiR5B6GvON78vmYr2BqgFPwwyfcZgOxCCR6iNhMLNYR-KeL_Rbg05BKBxfwyU6lk8j4aW6PI5U7YUZOhepA8l1aOLdIPnkFWIBuZkzw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3577" data-original-width="5365" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjuGuyovEia6UVXSAg-D9mcJ0fwZNF0zVYSYA0GeU4FbtTAWZ_BQJfHBnybuNBoA6MCZgJggOCRjaJnc8B1ylZGiR5B6GvON78vmYr2BqgFPwwyfcZgOxCCR6iNhMLNYR-KeL_Rbg05BKBxfwyU6lk8j4aW6PI5U7YUZOhepA8l1aOLdIPnkFWIBuZkzw=w400-h266" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">The Wairere Boulder Nature Park was formed in the early

This was once a vibrant and active little ecosystem, an oasis in the middle of a parched & dry landscape and it's so sad to see.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWbDiC5lTl-NZxQwcAqCPiaMBffpeBJqbuyd9BbpWSjZbaU-JUievri1rSrj6JIQ17oJ_1yszq_tgrf8kDnX152ZgniUCxSp4AQcxYRelT_UCmEU48_sRMBu03wLboMJRHIWGCVBHN7xA8P66-gXR3FNL951oKP3zbmw0EHWWv6Xps-Iov1GvVRPsq_w=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWbDiC5lTl-NZxQwcAqCPiaMBffpeBJqbuyd9BbpWSjZbaU-JUievri1rSrj6JIQ17oJ_1yszq_tgrf8kDnX152ZgniUCxSp4AQcxYRelT_UCmEU48_sRMBu03wLboMJRHIWGCVBHN7xA8P66-gXR3FNL951oKP3zbmw0EHWWv6Xps-Iov1GvVRPsq_w=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Aurora at Tekapo River- It was a new location for me when an aurora alert went off.

The waterways are literally alive with fish; splashing, weaving in and out & fighting as they try to hold themselves over the shallow shingle banks while they spawn. From a distance the river is full of splashes as they move over the shingle, their fins & tails often out of the water. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN5E-uSx2Za4UO6Q7KXyNStpSXGRpWRKlzcFPiKmSKWvN7GBZOK09UTcsQp3UUbDBJzKP5qdnDpZUXL8xZCvd1mKJtXqaAU3tEBh8p_poZg-qeNSRDzffhHxrJifVN-DWXgexoJoSmK69R/s2048/LRSM-8208-2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN5E-uSx2Za4UO6Q7KXyNStpSXGRpWRKlzcFPiKmSKWvN7GBZOK09UTcsQp3UUbDBJzKP5qdnDpZUXL8xZCvd1mKJtXqaAU3tEBh8p_poZg-qeNSRDzffhHxrJifVN-DWXgexoJoSmK69R/w400-h266/LRSM-8208-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sockeye Salmon resting in a cool pool</span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sockeye salmon are an introduced species and the Mackenzie Basin is the only place in the Southern Hemisphere where you'll see this happening. Monitoring over the last few years has put the numbers between 40,000 & 70,000. While on their spawning run it is illegal to catch, net or spear the fish, or even walk in the river bed and trample over or disturb their nests (redds).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLQ8NvyN1myEQu6yDnlZxEDyurD40euGnaKWa8aZ3A2Bw4J1noLK-fWsFRy7nseQwhqoq6TwwGnTAAMoemn0zGHSTSmL1lZx33BWrwuOCsw9IHl_8ejV8E7ndYR_Hq2SB71FDO4Tguck2_/s2048/07.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLQ8NvyN1myEQu6yDnlZxEDyurD40euGnaKWa8aZ3A2Bw4J1noLK-fWsFRy7nseQwhqoq6TwwGnTAAMoemn0zGHSTSmL1lZx33BWrwuOCsw9IHl_8ejV8E7ndYR_Hq2SB71FDO4Tguck2_/w400-h400/07.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">These are not the Chinook (King) salmon that most people are familiar with and are farmed in the canals.
