Water quality concerns at ECan-funded swimming holes in Hurunui
Hurunui visitors and residents are now able to make use of four swimming holes, but should check the water quality before jumping in.
Historic swimming holes at Balmoral and the Waiau River were reinstated last summer and have been dug out again for swimmers to enjoy this summer. Both sites have previously recorded high levels of E coli though, so swimmers should check the www.lawa.org.nz... |LAWA website| for the latest water quality information before visiting.
Two new swimming holes have also been created this summer: one at the Waitohi River by the Lake Sumner Rd bridge, and the second at Dog Stream, in the Brooke Dawson reserve in Hanmer Springs. Water quality at both sites is not monitored.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
