The West Coast (Māori: Te Tai Poutini) is one of the administrative regions of New Zealand, located on the west coast of the South Island, and is one of the more remote and most sparsely populated areas of the country. The West Coast was home to Māori, who valued it for the taonga of greenstone (pounamu) which was found there in abundance

To New Zealanders, 'The Coast' generally refers to the West Coast of the South Island, and 'Coasters' to those that live there. Fiordland is geographically on the west coast of New Zealand but has no direct road connection, and is in the Southland rather than West Coast administrative region. The land is very scenic, with wild coastlines, mountains, and a very high proportion of native bush, much of it native temperate rain forest

Page 4: Kekeno, Tawaki & Toi Toi

The region has a very high rainfall due to the prevailing northwesterly wind pattern and the location of the Southern Alps – these two elements give rise to heavy orographic precipitation. The flip side to this is the rain shadow effect which is responsible for the relatively arid climate of the Canterbury Plains on the other side of the Southern Alps.State Highway 6 is a major New Zealand State Highway

Arnott Point

Knight Point

A 100 square kilometer area around Arnott Point has an aproximate population of 279 (0.000003 persons per square meter) and an average elevation of 693 meters above sea levels. The bold headland of Arnott Point is a major resting area for kekeno (New Zealand fur seal).

Kekeno (New Zealand fur seal) are the most common seals in New Zealand waters.In winter and spring up to 800 kekeno of all ages bask on the rocks and beach. In summer numbers drop to about 30 on the beach and 199 on the island, mostly young animals and old bulls.

Kekeno are very good swimmers and weaned pups will turn up almost anywhere around New Zealand. A fur seal pup tagged on the west coast of South Island has even been recorded in Australia. On land they sometimes become disoriented and have been found in unusual places such as back-yards, drains and streets.This pointy-nosed seal has long pale whiskers and a body covered with two layers of fur. Their coat is dark grey-brown on the back, and lighter below; when wet kekeno look almost black. In some animals the longer upper hairs have white tips which give the animal a silvery appearance.Adult females: maximum length 1.5 m, weight 30-50 kg.Adult males: maximum length 2.5 m, weight 90-150 kg.

Arnott Point is also home for tawaki (fiordland crested pinguin)The Fiordland crested penguin, or tawaki, is one of the rarest of New Zealand’s mainland penguins. Adults stand about 60 centimetres and weigh up to four kilograms. Their upper parts are coloured dark bluish grey with slightly darker feathers on the head.

The sides of the face, chin and throat are dark slate-grey with a broad yellow eyebrow stripe, which splays out and droops down the neck. Juvenile birds have a thinner eyebrow stripe and a white chin and throat. Most birds have between three and six grey/white cheek stripes. They have an orange bill, which is slightly larger in adult males.

The monument at Knight's Point, New Zealand. The Plaque says: “This plaque was unveiled by the prime minister the rt. hon. Keith Holyoake C.H. on 6th. November 1965 to commemorate the official opening of the Paringa–Haast section of this highway thereby linking Westland with Otago via Haast Pass.”

The giant tussock grasses of toetoe (Cortaderia toetoe), sporting numerous large creamy flower plumes on tall stems, are an iconic part of the New Zealand landscape.Toi Toi growing on the South Island of New Zealand can grow up to three metres tall with their white, feathery plumes gently blowing in the breeze. Toi Toi, (pronounced Toy Toy), is a graceful native New Zealand grass. There are more Toi Toi species which have naturally adapted to New Zealand’s awe inspiring and diverse sub-regional climates.Toetoe grows everywhere in New Zealand but is most often seen near the sea coast, or on the edges of swamps, and usually in groups.

Before the carved panels of the Maori houses were evolved, toetoe stems were used as wall screens and ceiling linings. Later the flowering stalks were used for decorative panels between the carved figures.

The plumes stay fresh for months and today are used for indoor winter decoration.
