Communities at both ends of the tunnel are celebrating its centenary on Friday.
The rail tunnel travels 8.5km through the Southern Alps and was once the seventh longest tunnel in the world, and the longest in the British Empire.
Although the rail tunnel is now only the third longest in the country, it remains an engineering marvel.
During its construction, tunnellers contended with harsh conditions, using basic tools to drive through wet shale and rock, and with the steep track required from Ōtira to Arthur’s Pass.
A committee of Ōtira residents was set up two years ago to organise a celebration to commemorate 100 years since the tunnel opened on August 4, 1923.

I'm trying to cover a 1 acre garden mulch / wood chips. We've already bought heaps from the local nursery's but it's getting expensive. Does anyone know of a good source of mulch / wood chips (i.e. local arborists, Mainpower, council, ) that would have any mulch or wood chips that they would like to get rid of? Thank you
