Hurunui


Another day on the Hurunui. Unfortunately there are plans to dam this river in the near future.

  2. Yeah it is. It is hard to imagine what it will look like. Of course the kayaking club and kayakers from all over the country (as well as many other recreational and environmental organization) have been writing petitions and lengthy proposals to fight it. They have won before, but it's not looking good this time. One thing that I've really realized from living here is how important it is to promote outdoor activities to youth. They will be the future kayakers, hikers, climbers, fisher people, bikers etc. who will fight for our wilderness areas.
