	NZRCA: Hugh Canard's speech at the Living Rivers Coalition launch, 15 December 2004
		The Waikato, the Tongariro, the Clutha, the Waiau, and the Waitaki were all under large hydro lakes or the Ministry of Works were in the process of finishing the job off, or 'Taming the Wild Rivers' as their history was called.
		Rivers like the Wanganui and the Mohaka and the Waikato are an inseparable part of the identity of the tangata whenua.
		So-called river protection works are routinely constructed without thought of the dangers to navigation, not just for paddlers but also for jet boaters and kids on inner tubes.

		On the west the only two rivers of importance are the Buller and the Grey, the former justly famous for the grandeur of its gorges.
		The Silurian system is represented by the Baton river beds to the ~vest of the Aoiere beds, occurring in the basin of the Motueka river, which flows into Tasman Bay.
		The beds take their name from the Maitai river near Nelson; they are largely developed in the mountains of the Tararua-Ruahine-Raukumara chain, on the eastern side of the North l,~-land; they occur in the Kaikoura Mountains, and an outlier forms Mount Torlesse, near the eastern edge of the Southern Alps, west of Christchurch.

		Once on the river, most of the safety boaters had to paddle pretty hard to be in position before the competitors went by.
		The river gets better as you progress and we agreed it was harder than the Hanmer to Leslie Hills section with far more obstacles, although the river is wide enough for one to cruise on grade 1-2 or choose some tasty play spots.
		The river becomes braided once on the plain and it is important to keep in the main channel to prevent grounding and to head for the right bank when you get near the take out at the Peaks.

	waiau river
		The Waiau River runs mainly is a north-south direction, some 112 km in length flowing from Lake Te Anau through Lake Manapuori and thence through open country, some bush-clad gorges and pastoral country to the sea.
		Because of the much lower water flow now, it is natural to expect a decline in trout populations, but the river still has adequate stocks of both brown and rainbow trout which rise freely, especially during the evenings.
		It is important to note that since the transformation of the Waiau, the trout now tend to feed in certain pockets of a pool or ripple.

	2003 to 2004 Kayaking Season (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The river was more exciting that I remembered with the section before the Hawarden Gap winding back and forth with plenty of grade two rapids and bluffs to negotiate, one of which resulted in a swim after tipping over and failing to roll.
		After that the river open out a bit and there were fewer and easier rapids, so we could sit back a bit and enjoy the scenery which was great and well worth the trip.
		The river was quite different from the other times I had paddled it, with much more pressure waves and less boulders to dodge, the hole where I banged my head on a previous trip was just a series of waves.

	Railways of New Zealand: Waiau Branch: Rotherham & Achray Stations
		The Achray flag station was situated south of the Waiau River approx 5 km north-east of Red Post Corner, close to the intersection of Flintoft Mouse Point Road with SH70.
		The population served by it was fairly sparse and consequently the station facilities were basic and functional, though the station building was quite large and there are suggestions that it was intended to be the railhead at one time.
		Approx 1 km out of Waiau the line curved through 45 degrees to the right and the track levelled out to run in a south-east direction the remaining distance to the terminus.

	Railways of New Zealand: Waiau Branch
		The Waiau Branch was a typical rural NZ Railways branch line, leaving the South Island Main Trunk railway at Waipara, a small settlement 63 km north of Christchurch, and running 66 km through mainly flat country to Waiau on the south bank of the Waiau River.
		It was originally envisaged when the line was built that it would be the main railway line north to Picton, and indeed the current main line through Parnassus was terminated at that station in 1912 and the current route north not progressed until the 1930s.
		The original road bridge at Waiau was constructed to be a road/rail bridge if required (in NZ's classic single deck style) but the rails never actually crossed the river.

		The Wairaurahiri River is a popular destination for many experienced jet boat operators and commercial interest in the river is increasing partly in anticipation of increased demand for services on the river after the Hump Ridge Track becomes operational.
		Concessions for the use of the Wairaurahiri River for commercial kayaking or rafting purposes are unlikely to be granted because of safety concerns.
		All motorised boating on the Eglinton river will be discouraged and concessions for commercial motorised use are very unlikely to be granted to protect the natural quiet, prevent conflict with anglers and protect the habitat of blue duck, fl fronted terns and other indigenous wildlife.

	Tramping (Trekking) the Length of New Zealand
		Waiau Pass is one of only two ways to get through to Lewis Pass, and the other way is even harder.
		When it reached the river valley, it became a good dirt track on the ground but severely overgrown with bush, so each step had to be made while bush was pushed away and the ground felt with feet or poles for step-downs and obstacles--an extremely slow process.
		It became necessary to cross the Waiau river several times to switch sides when steep forest came down to the riverbank on one side, and then later one crossing of the Ada River, but these proved quite easy and not dangerous, even enjoyable.

		This would entail extraction of some flow from the main stream of the river and running this along canals to a power station where it would come back into the river.
		The flow in the Waiau River is largely dependent on the generation requirements of the Manapouri power station although the Manapouri resource consent sets a minimum flow condition, which would have to be maintained with any generation development.
		It may be possible to develop an out of river canal type hydro generation scheme in parts of the lower Waiau catchment.

		The Waiau does not have a long estuary as other Southland rivers do but its lagoon is large and well populated with brown trout.
		Like all Southland rivers, perhaps even more so, its trout are difficult to catch for the newcomer, and even for the experienced angler catching trout on this river requres skill and local knowledge.
