Arthur's Pass National Park is a major National Park in the centre of the South Island of New Zealand. The park is a popular stop from the TranzAlpine train and has hikes both long and short. Arthur's Pass village is a small village within the park and is the location of the train station, motels, cabins and a few places to eat.

Driving from Christchurch to Arthur's Pass, New Zealand (4K Timelapse)
I decided to head to Arthur's Pass on Easter Monday to take some photos and had the idea of recording the journey there using my GoPro in timelapse mode. Managing to capture the classic 'four seasons in a day' that New Zealand can show, here it is (now also my first 4K upload)!

NZ Arthur's Pass Station.mp4
Arthurs Pass station, South Island new Zealand. Once a hive of activity, the place now resembles a ghost town since the discontinuance of using the Eo Electric Locos on trains through the 8 km long Otira tunnel and diesels now running the line all the way. Some of the discarded equipment from the overhead wiring can be seen on the ground.

Otira gorge and viaduct near Arthurs Pass, South Island of New Zealand
Recorded on 15 February 2011 overlooking Otira Gorge and the viaduct, which was opened in 1999. This is on State Highway 73 a few kilometres west of Arthurs Pass and about 160km from Christchurch by road.
This is a highly dynamic alpine environment in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. It has very high rainfall around the year - not unheard of for 300 millimetres (12 inches)to fall in a day. Tectonic uplift is about 30 millimetres a year, and erosion rates are about the same, which generates a lot of sediment that piles up in the valleys to be transported by rivers. Sources of erosion in the Southern Alps are aeolian, rainfall and freeze/thaw action as well as seismic activity.
Otira Gorge viaduct was opened in 1999 by the Rt. Hon Jenny Shipley, then Prime Minister of New Zealand to replace a notorious section of road set above a major slip that culminated in what drivers called the Otira Hairpins. The road shown in the video is much steeper than it looks - 16% - and its about 50 metres from top of viaduct to the valley floor.

-- About this video --
Today we’re taking the TranzAlpine Train in New Zealand! It’s considered one of the world’s most scenic train trips. Watch this video to see what it’s like to take a return journey with the KiwiRail TranzAlpine Train between Christchurch and Greymouth. It’s one of the great ways to travel across the South Island.
Admittedly, there is not much in the way of train travel in New Zealand, but with what New Zealand trains they do have, they are pretty amazing. The New Zealand TranzAlpine goes from Christchurch to Greymouth where the train goes through Arthur’s Pass National Park in the Southern Alps. The Arthur’s Pass train station is one of the stops before travelling through the Otira Tunnel, which is 8.5km long.
So what do you think of this South Island train journey? Would you add the Christchurch Greymouth Train / Greymouth Christchurch train to your South Island travel itinerary? Would you use this way to travel the South Island? LUK in the comments.

Photographing Arthur's Pass After Leaving the Hospital
After over 80km of hiking in clear blue skies and very hot days, I ended up in the hospital's emergency room with either heat exhaustion, a gastro bug, or a combination of both! Once I felt a bit better, I headed to Arthur's Pass National Park and tried to take it easy while photographing some of the more popular spots of the park - and even that proved to be difficult for my very exhausted self!
