Paihia is in the Bay of Islands in the far north of New
Zealand, 420 km north of Auckland. There are regular buses
and flights from Auckland to Paihia, so it will be simple
when arriving in New Zealand to get to the venue. Details of
how to get to Paihia are provided below. Please arrange to
arrive in Paihia by Sunday 12th October.
Paihia is one of the main big-game fishing centres in New
Zealand. There are many fishing and cruising trips available
to visitors, a large aquarium of common local fishes, superb
motel accommodation adjacent to the beach at modest prices,
and excellent sea food restaurants. There will be a free day
in the middle of the conference to take advantage of local
activities.
The meeting will be held in the conference room of the
Paihia Pacific Resort Hotel, which is a well-appointed venue
with seating for up to 120 participants. E-mail facilities
will be available so that participants can keep in touch
with family etc.
CLIMATE
The conference is being held at the beginning of the spring
season in New Zealand, so it is not the hottest time of
year; however, sea water temperatures in the Bay of Islands
are 16-17 degrees C at this time, and many people start
swimming then. The far north has a pleasant climate, and is
often referred to as the `winterless north', although there
could be rain at that time of year. There is good fishing,
snorkling and scuba diving all year round.
HOW TO GET FROM AUCKLAND TO PAIHIA
When you arrive at Auckland International Airport and pass
through customs and immigration, you will find a bus stand
immediately outside the terminal. The "Airbus" will take you
into the city. This departs every 20 minutes, and takes 40
to 60 minutes to get into the city, depending on traffic.
You can purchase a return ticket for $20 if you wish, and
use the other half when you return to the airport after your
stay in New Zealand. Ask the bus driver to let you off at
the "Intercity Depot". This is in downtown Auckland, close
to the Sky Tower, which is a major landmark in the city.
You need to catch one of the "Intercity Coachline" buses at
the Depot, which is going to Kaitaia. This stops at
Whangarei, Paihia and Kaitaia (and some small stops). The
fare is $44, and the bus takes 4 hours. Departure times are:
08.30 am Daily
10.30 am Daily except Saturday
13.30 pm Daily except Sunday
17.30 pm Sunday
18.30 pm Saturday
When you arrive at Paihia, your motel is right on the beach
front and easy to find. Paihia is a very small township and
you cannot get lost. Foss will be staying at the Anchorage
Motel (Phone 09-402-7447).
Instead of using the bus service, you could take a flight
from Auckland to the Bay of Islands. Air New Zealand flies
Auckland to Kerikeri 4 times daily during the week, and 3
times daily Saturday and Sunday. This is a 15 seater
Bandeirante turbo prop, $189 one-way fare, taking 50
minutes. All flights are met by a shuttle which takes
passengers to Paihia for $15.
FIELD TRIP
There will be a three-day post-conference bus tour. Day 1:
This will take in several archaeological sites at Kerikeri,
Pouerua mountain, and Kokohuia on the Hokianga harbour
(staying at Omapere Tourist Hotel overnight). Day 2: visit
to the kauri forest at Waipoua, special guests of the Maori
New Zealand community (indigenous people) at Te Houhanga
Marae and Rahiri meeting house near Dargaville including
traditional Maori food luncheon; then free late afternoon in
Whangarei (staying overnight at The Quality Hotel). Day 3:
Tour of the Marine Research Laboratory at Leigh, visit to a
fish processing factory in Auckland, visit to the volcanic
cone archaeological sites in Auckland city.
Arrival in Auckland at the end of the fieldtrip marks the
official ending of the FRWG conference, and delegates will
disembark at the Auckland downtown bus terminal about
5.30pm Monday 15th. If you require accommodation in
Auckland that night, or if you have any ongoing travel
needs, please arrange this with Juanita Smart by email (see
below).
Unfortunately, we are limited to only 30 people on the bus
tour, so this will have to be booked on the basis of the
order in which the field-trip fee is paid to Juanita. So
please confirm your booking early.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The registration fee and Fieldtrip fee must be paid in full
by 28 February 2001. This is to ensure that we know exactly
how many people are coming and can make sure that the
correct amount of all resources are ordered and paid for in
advance. A deposit of 10% for accommodation is also required
by February 28. Payment can be made by telegraphic transfer
