SUMMARY:November Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Another few weeks have rolled by since our last meeting! \nThis month\, now that the evenings are a bit lighter for longer\, rather than meeting indoors we will be going for a walk at the Otipua Wetlands – so dig out your walking shoes\, dust them off and get them on! \nWe will start at 7:00 pm\, a bit earlier than usual\, so that we will have time to get round the track before it is dark. \nMeet beside the main road\, just north of Saltwater Creek\, at the southern end of Timaru. \nAs usual\, all members and others interested in the club are welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:Waitohi Bush: Day Trip
DESCRIPTION:This Timaru District Council reserve is a short distance from Pleasant Point and offers two short walks: Kowhai Track (45 minutes) and Cabbage Tree Track (20 min.)  We are planning to do both of them before returning home for lunch.  This will be a great opportunity to stretch legs that may not have been stretched for a while – as well as those that may have had some recent stretching! \nThe reserve is surrounded by pine plantation\, but contains good examples of native bush and birdlife\, and offers good views over the surrounding countryside. \nThere is no need to book in for this trip – just turn up at the Aorangi Stadium carpark beside Morgans Road in Timaru at 9:00 on Tuesday\, and transport will be arranged from there. \nGrade: Easy\nOrganiser: Hazel

SUMMARY:Gunns Bush and Kelceys Bush: Day Trip
DESCRIPTION:Gunns Bush is located 10 km northwest of Waimate in the Hunters Hills area.  From the end of Gunns Bush Road the track through the native bush follows a stream and does a small loop before returning the same way.  In many places the forest floor is carpeted with green moss helping make this a short but enjoyable 5 kilometre walk taking about 1.5 hours. \nKelceys Bush is also just a few kilometres northwest of Waimate\, and about 5 km south of Gunns Bush. Two short walks are available here: one of about 20 minutes to a viewpoint\, and another of about 40 minutes following the creek up the valley to the site of the water intake for Waimate’s first water supply. \nGrade: Easy\nOrganiser: Dorothy 03 6881333

SUMMARY:Wainono Lagoon: Day Trip
DESCRIPTION:Wainono Lagoon is a shallow lagoon on the coast near Waimate.  The Hook and Waihao Rivers flow into it so it is a fresh water lagoon despite being separated from the sea by just a few metres.  DOC has established the Wainono Lagoon Conservation Area to protect the natural environment of the lagoon which is important for its birdlife and native fish.  The track along the shingle bank between the lagoon and the sea begins at Hook Beach Road and takes 2.5 hours to walk one way. \nGrade: Easy\nOrganiser: Dorothy 03 6881333
