阿卡罗阿希科里湾 Akaroa Hickory Bay

位于阿卡罗阿东部的希科里湾
也被称为威克里基加里
意思是愤怒的水
这里风浪危险不适合出海
从陆路到此最为安全

Located at the east of Akaroa, Hickory Bay is also known as Waikerikikari, the Bay of Angry Waters. It is a hazardous venture to reach by sea thus the only reliable access was by land.

从75号公路

由基督城开往阿卡罗阿的方向

寻找一条希科里湾路的碎石小路

这条碎石路狭窄、颠簸，风速又大

切记小心行驶

From Christchurch head toward Akaroa on State Highway 75, turn onto the gravel road called Hickory Bay Road. The road is shingle, narrow, bumpy and windy, thus please take extra care when driving.

大约行驶40分钟

抵达路的尽头是一个停车场

再往前就是私人农场

请跟从指示利用步道步行至海边

忽将车辆行驶入农场的驾驶道

It takes about 40 minutes to reach the bottom of the road and there is a carpark. Park your car and follow the signs through the farm track to the beach, do not drive onto the farmers’ driveway.

这个步道十分简单

10至15分钟即可抵达海边

这里不可露营，不可起火也没有厕所

请记得把垃圾带走

The track is very easy and is only 10 to 15 minute walk to the bottom. No camping, fires or toilet, and remember to take whatever you take in out.

这里可近距离见到海狗

请不要骚扰它们

这个海滩游客极少

除了海浪声就只有海鸟和海狗发出的叫声

在这样的环境里

待上一天也没有问题

A lot of seal are found on the beach but please do not disturb them. The beach is not known by a lot of people thus it is quiet with only the waves, sea gull and seal here. There is no problem to spend a day in such a beach that is well kept in its original way.

Akaroa 阿卡罗阿

距离基督城75公里外的阿卡罗阿
坐落在古火山口一带
是个位于坎特伯雷班克斯半岛的港口小镇
更是纽西兰著名的法国小镇

Just 75 kilometres from the city of Christchurch, Akaroa nestled in the heart of an ancient volcano. It is a small town on Banks Peninsula in the Canterbury region, well-known as a French settlement in New Zealand.

阿卡罗阿在毛利语意为“长长的港口”

法国船长让·朗格鲁瓦被阿卡罗阿的美景深深吸引

于1838年与当地毛利族长协商购买此地

建立法国聚集地的计划

Akaroa mean “Long Harbour” in Maori. Captain Jean Langlois from France was attracted by the beauty of Akaroa, he made a provisional purchase of land in 1838 from the Maori chief and expressed his interest to build a French settlement.

法国对纽西兰的兴趣促使英国加速对纽西兰的占领

1840年一批法国移民抵达阿卡罗阿

却发现在他们到达前

英国人已经抢先获得了这个地方的主权

这批法国人被允许在阿卡罗阿定居

从此这一地区渐渐繁荣起来

发展成了今日的法国村

The French interest in New Zealand speeded up Britain’s decision to annex New Zealand. In 1840, by the time French settlers arrived, the Banks Peninsula had been claimed by the British. The French emigrants were allowed to stay in Akaroa and the small town slowly developed and became the French village in New Zealand.

现今的阿卡罗阿

已成为一个观光胜地

除了优美的自然风光

还可参加各种活动

这里除了有企鹅出没

阿卡罗阿水域也是许多海豚生长的地方

这里也可钓鱼、潜水、观光徒步等

Akaroa now serves mainly holidaymakers and tourists.  Despite the beautiful scenery, there are different activities. You will find the penguin colony here and Akaroa waters are also home to the dolphin. You can also enjoy fishing, diving or go for a relaxing walk at the walking tracks.

此外，许多居住在此或附近的人

也会到阿卡罗阿捕捉鲍鱼

只要有竖立可捕捉鲍鱼的告示

即表示附近有鲍鱼

Besides that, the local and people who live nearby will come to Akaroa for Paua. As long as there is notice about paua fishing, it means there are paua nearby.

然而，捕捉鲍鱼切记遵守告示的规则

无论是尺寸、数量皆有规定

凡不符合规格的应马上放回水里

否则惩罚十分严重

另外，切记注意安全

安全第一

However, remember to follow the fishing rules stated in the notice, there is a limit for the size and amount of the paua catched. Unlawful shellfish must be returned into the water immediately, the punishment can be very painful if there is any offence. 

Besides that, put your safety as the top priority and be careful at any time.

基督城鸭子湖 Christchurch The Groynes

基督城其中一个著名的野餐地点
就是在一号公路出口不远的The Groynes
这里有鸭子、天鹅和海鸥
因此也被当地人称为“鸭子湖”

The Groynes is one of the well-known picnic spot in Christchurch, it is located near to the exit of State Highway 1. Because of the large number of ducks, swans and gulls here, the locals also call the place “duck pond”.

这里水质清澈见底

是钓鳟鱼的好地方

但你也许需要钓鱼证方可在纽西兰垂钓

宜先上纽西兰鱼钓网站查询

The water is crystal clear here and it provides great trout fishing opportunities. However, you will need a fishing licence from Fish and Game New Zealand thus it is suggested to check online before start fishing.

同时还有多个免费野餐和烧烤地点

且靠近停车场

非常方便

但切记离开时把垃圾一起带走

There are picnic areas and free barbeques throughout the park which is conveniently located next to the car park. However, please remember to take your rubbish home with you.

沿着小溪和湖泊的数个步道

简单易行、风景迷人

还有儿童游乐场设备如

架空索道、跷跷板、滑梯和秋千等

让小孩流连忘返

Few walking tracks around the lakes and rivers are easy and most suitable for visitor to wander around at their leisure. The kids will like the playground as there are lots of facilities such as flying fox, see-saw, slides and swings.

鸭子湖的另一特点

便是这里的狗公园

这里有很大的空间允许狗只

在没有束缚的情况下尽情奔跑

Another feature of The Groynes is the dog park. There are large open spaces which allow the dogs to exercise off leash.

这里甚至有一个围起来的范围

也让狗只可以在湖中戏水

或是在树丛中奔跑

是狗主人必到之地

There is even a fenced area where the dogs can swim in the ponds and running around in the bush. It is a must visited place for the dog owners.
