Nelson

Nelson is New Zealand's sunniest city and the Nelson-Tasman region is a major fruit growing area.

Nelson lies between the northern edge of the Southern Alps and Tasman Bay on the northern coast of the South Island and the Nelson/Richmond conurbation is New Zealand`s tenth largest city and fourth busiest Airport while retaining small town informality and friendliness.

Like most of New Zealand, Nelson lies in a region with a high incidence of earthquakes. However, Amber House has survived three major earthquakes undamaged while less resilient buildings in Nelson collapsed.

Writers have speculated that this is partly because of the inherent flexibility of Amber House's colonial wooden construction and partly due to the alternate layers of sand and mud beneath its foundations acting as a natural shock absorber.

Centre of New Zealand
Nelson is the geographical centre of New Zealand but, (confusingly for private pilots who sometimes take off from Wellington Airport, mistakenly head South instead of West and then run out of fuel and crash in the Pacific Ocean), Nelson is actually very slightly North of a line drawn due West from New Zealand's capital situated on the North Island.

Nelson is home to many festivals and has a flourishing Arts and Crafts community that gave rise to the famous World of Wearable (WoW) Art Awards. The World of Wearable Art museum is a must-see in Nelson!
(What a pity that their architecturally lyrical and flowing building has to endure the new garish orange 'shed' of the Mitre 10 Megastore just behind it...)

Abel Tasman, Nelson Lakes and Kahurangi National Parks
Nelson is unique in being surrounded by no less than three National Parks and our region offers a lavish and beautiful variety of landscapes including some of the best beaches in New Zealand, the Abel Tasman National Park and Alpine terrain in both the Nelson Lakes and Kahurangi National Parks.

Nelson Lakes has the Rainbow Ski field and a 'mainland island' nature recovery project at Lake Rotoiti with great trout fishing.

Kahurangi National Park is enormous and populated by Nikau Palms (the worlds most southerly Palm tree) which makes this temperate area look tropical. Kahurangi contains New Zealand's most extensive forest stretching right up to the tops of the Mount Arthur Range. The Sumo wrestlers of the mollusc world, the carnivorous Powelliphanta superba prouseorum snails, slither through the ferns hunting giant earthworms. Weighing in at weights that a Hamburger would be proud of they can measure nearly nearly 4 inches (90mm) across and are yet another NZ evolutionary oddity. Kahurangi is variously interpreted as `treasured possession' or `precious jewel'.

Farewell Spit, the most northerly point of the South Island, is a long sandbar which stretches out 35km from the very tip of the South Island and is notorious for whale strandings and Israeli backpackers.

In the pristine Kahurangi National Park, a massive range of limestone has metamorphosed into hard marble containing the deepest dry cave systems in the Southern Hemisphere. At the base of these cave systems, lies the resurgence of the Pearse River whose crystal clear waters erupt from the base of the mountains.

On Wednesday, 21 March 2007, a team of international cave divers set a new record by diving to a depth of 177m (more than 580 feet below ground level) in the Pearse Resurgence near Mount Arthur.

The record depth was reached after the team spent 10 days diving in this amazing cave system located about 40 miles west of Amber House.

A spokesman for the group said that diving in the Pearse system was fantastic as the caves were so large it wasn't claustrophobic.

"It's like diving down a railway tunnel. The water is actually gin clear, it's like you are not in water - it's like being in air."

The spokesman said it took Rick Stanton of England about 20 minutes to get down to 170m. However, the ascent took six hours as it had to be done slowly to allow for decompression with the divers using special "rebreather" tanks (allowing them to stay underwater for up to eight hours) and wearing heated vests and thick thermal clothing under their dry-suits to stay warm. There were problems with lights imploding because of the extreme depths.

Another member of the team, Mr Harris, said diving in the Pearse was completely different from other cave dives he had done.

"This cave is particularly spectacular because of the size of its passages and the clarity of the water. But the cold makes it a pretty forbidding place as well."

The Mount Arthur range had large, dry cave systems and the next challenge was to find a link from the Pearse Resurgence into other systems in the area, he said.
