	Ahaura River - West Coast New Zealand
		The upper section in the Kopara area sees the combination of several small mountain rivers within a short distance- the Waikiti, Trent, Waiheke and Tutaekuri come together in a short distance to form the Ahaura.
		This section of the river is blue mountain water, with wide, gravelled beaches, and is braided and unstable.
		Below these rapids, the riverbanks become towering compacted gravel cliffs 80-100ft high, and the river is confined to a single channel.

		Two main river systems dominate the Waimea Plains, lying between the Kahurangi National Park to the west, the Richmond Range to the east and the Nelson Lakes National Park to the south: these are the Motueka and Waimea rivers which flow gently across alluvial farm and orchard land.
		This district stretches from the Heaphy River in the north to the Cascade River in the south.
		This large and varied district stretches from the Waiau River in the north-east to the Rakaia River in the south-east; from Lewis Pass in the north-west to Arthurs Pass and the Rakaia headwaters in the south-west.

		For the first time I have ever seen, this river is not the torrent it usually is. Lake Brunner is at record lows and the river is the same.
		I driftboated the river with Ben Kemp, a local guide, and he had to push us through a couple of rapids; the water level being as low as Ben had ever seen.
		It is not often that this river flows so clear for so long and the trout are enjoying the difference.

		Where the river does not run alongside the road, permission must be obtained from landowners to cross their land.
		The Haupiri and Ahaura Rivers both carry good populations of medium to large trout although numbers are fewer in the upper reaches.
		The usual pattern is for the lower reaches of the major rivers to carry more fish in spring and early summer, after which trout move upstream to occupy mid-headwater habitats.

		Float for hours in peace and quiet, along tranquil waters where the only sound is the rumble of the river, the slopping of the water against wood, and the calls of native songbirds.

		The river is slow and serene in the upper sections.

		The return trip was very quick (1 hour) as we flew down the river with even more scouring of the river bottom as everyone was keen to seek out new challenges.

	EQC - 019: Project 95/193
		Trenching of the fault at five locations between Hokitika and the Ahaura River indicates the last rupture south of the Haupiri River occurred after 1660 AD and probably between 1700 and 1750 AD.
		An updated record of landslide and aggradation terrace ages is consistent with two earthquakes in the last 500 years but does not significantly refine the date estimates.
		Analysis of forest age in Westland from the Paringa River to Springs Junctions reveals two periods of synchronous regional forest disturbance and re-establishment at 1625 ± 15 AD and 1715 ± 15 AD which we infer was the result of the two most recent earthquakes.

		Along this pleasant drive, the Buller river is left behind after Kawatiri, and the road follows up over Glen Hope Saddle through the Golden Downs pine forests and on through many small villages to Nelson.

		The 18-metre-long southern span of the Kaniere Bridge over the Hokitika River was swept away and floated out to sea, causing a menace to shipping.
		The Ahaura road/rail bridge was damaged and half of the paddocks in the Ahaura River valley were covered in gravel and boulders.

	GREY RIVER - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		This north Westland river, 75 miles long, rises at the main alpine divide and flows generally westwards to the Tasman Sea.
		In the 1860s a route from Nelson by way of a low saddle from the Maruia River near its head extended down the river to the gold-mining areas of the West Coast, but it has not become a modern route because of gorges in the middle reaches of the river.
		It is often closed because of shallow or rough water on the bar, and frequent dredging is necessary to keep the berths free of the sand and gravel brought down by the river when in flood.

		It is necessary for members to aquaint themselves with the law and understand that 'no uplifting' means that no jet boating is allowed on the described river at a proper speed (speed through the water) greater than 5 knots.
		The River Officers of each Branch and of the National Executive maintain continuing efforts to obtain more permanent upliftings.

		The two-hour mountain bike next will be a mad dash as teams fight off the weather elements and the onset of tiredness to reach the start of the paddle leg on the Ahaura river by 6am to complete the 67km stretch before the night curfew of 9pm today.
		The kayak section is set to split the field with those who reach the end before the curfew free to tackle the next mountain trek in the dark.
		But those left on the river will be forced to lift paddles and camp out on the banks with 6am the release time for racers back on the waters.

		Ahaura was a settlement on the river flat several miles up the Grey Valley.
		There was a sawmill, a railway station, and in the lush paddocks on the river flat, a few prosperous farmers ran sheep.
		On her way to Ahaura Miss Dane passed Mr Hankinson’s car; he didn’t acknowledge her, and it gratified her unusually that she could stare him through as if he was a stranger.

		Rolland was transferred to Ahaura in the Upper Grey River valley to take charge of a day school for boys and girls and girl boarders.
		In 1883 he began to enlarge the school with a view to developing the girls' section to the same academic level as the boys', but the school did not open for 1884.
		It would appear that Francis Redwood, the bishop of Wellington, decided Ahaura was too remote to be considered financially viable for a boarding school.

		The most recent earthquake occurred in A.D. 1717 and the rupture extended over a section of fault between Milford and the Haupiri River, a distance of 375 km.
		About 1630, another earthquake occurred on the fault and this extended between at least the Paringa and Ahaura Rivers (250 km).

		With the extreme rainfall of the previous 48 hours, the Ahaura River was deemed unsafe.
		This afternoon, the top teams bush-bashed their way up from the Grey River, with Team Kathmandu for the first time showing some weakness.

		We muck round a bit during this stage and lose time – with a couple of pit stops and not riding in formation when we should be, but it's not significant in overall the scheme of things.
		In time, we find a possible route out of the river and up towards a spur that we can't quite pick out in the lowering cloud level – but we do a great job of navigating on to it.
		Our buggering around in the fight-scrub since leaving the Lower Crooked River Hut had obviously seen us be picked off by a number of the chasing teams.

		A strong cycling team could quite literally ride away with this race, but as the opening section from Hokitika around Lake Kaniere and across the Arahura and Big Wainihinihini river valleys came to a close, it was local knowledge that was showing through.
		As the race transitioned from mountain biking to mountain trekking, Kathmandu illustrated their knowledge of their home region to move from third to lead the race by six minutes.

		A central granitic belt, the largest in New Zealand, extends from the northern extremity of Karamea Bight for 120 miles through the Victoria Range to the Ahaura River in Westland.
		The western belt is exposed discontinuously from the Mokihinui River to the Buller River and from here continuously south through much of the Paparoa Range.
		At the Buller Gorge, Big River, Fox River mouth, and Punakaiki are patches of coarse breccia (the Hawks Crag Breccia) and of nonmarine sandstones and shales, that are probably Jurassic or Cretaceous in age.
