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.

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
