	The Waimakariri River
		The Waimakariri is one of the larger braided rivers in New Zealand.
		Its flows are controlled by the weather in its upper basin, the stronger and drier the Nor-West wind is on the plains, the greater the flow be from heavy north west rain in the upper basin.
		The Eyre River rises in the western foothills and, unlike the Waimakariri river, is largely fed by easterly rains.

	Arthurs Pass
		This track on the summit of Arthur's Pass, offers a good introduction to the sub-alpine and alpine plants of this area. The alpine flowers are in bloom from November to February. The evenly graded track passes through a variety of alpine herbs, tussocks and shrubs. It also gives good views of the surrounding mountains.
		From here you can scramble up the river bed to go further up the valley. Avalanched snow often collects at the head of the valley in winter and remains throughout the year. This forms a false glacier which is under-cut by the Bealey River flowing below it.
		The highest mountain is Mt Murchison 2,408 metres at the headwaters of the White River a tributary of the Waimakariri headwaters.

		The river fell downhill through its boulders, and from around entirely blank corners offered up these small visions, dropped into a grey world seemingly from somewhere beyond, from another, and utterly pure, planet.
		Just a kilometre up the highway was an AA sign, the yellow diamond-shaped one that warns motorists, by the appropriate fl silhouette, that children might be on the road ahead, or stock might be, or as the silhouette on this sign suggested, moas might be.
		The hut at the junction of Hamilton Creek and the Harper River is known to trampers as the Hamilton Hilton.

		Bealey Chasm and Valley: A small rock gorge in the Bealey River, a few minutes walk through beech forest and an easy ascent through bush and subalpine vegetation to the riverbed, to end under the sheer Bealey Face of Mount Rolleston.
		The pass's namesake, Arthur Dudley Dobson, discovered this new route to the West Coast goldfields in the summer of 1864 when intense pressure was on for a more expedient route than the longer Harper Pass at the head of the Taramakau River.
		Few real tourist walks are available, but the most notable are to the Devil's Punchbowl and Bridal Veil Falls, and into the fearsomely named Bealey Chasm.
