Plein Air Painting, 15th January 2025, Riuwaka Resurgence

Happy New Year and welcome back to Plein Air Painting!

Meet us on Wednesday, 15th January 2025, 10am, at the Riuwaka Resurgence. The Resurgence is where the north branch of the Riuwaka River pours out of the “cave-riddled” marble of Tākaka Hill. The area is part of the Kahurangi National Park and is beautiful with “damp forest, clear cold water, tranquil pools, and moss-covered and water-worn marble rock” (see doc website: https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/nelson-tasman/places/kahurangi-national-park/things-to-do/tracks/riuwaka-resurgence/)

Dogs are not permitted!

The rocks in the riverbed are very slippery.

Directions:

The Riuwaka Resurgence is 11 km from Riwaka township and 16 km from Motueka.

From Riwaka, travel north-west on SH60 toward Tākaka.

Just before the climb over the Tākaka Hill, the road splits in two, with the signposted road to the Resurgence off to the left (Riwaka Valley Road).

Travel 7 km along this gently winding, but easy, flat road, to the park beside the start of the track.

Please bring:

Please morning tea/lunch, your painting supplies, a chair, bug spray, sun screen and good weather.
