Australian officials are closely monitoring a Chinese vessel that's passing through its waters, after completing a joint mission with Kiwi scientists off the coast of Fiordland. The high-tech Chinese research ship is carrying a deep-sea submersible that's capable of exploring extreme depths. It's following the route of Australia's deep-sea submarine cable, off the southern coast, weeks after Chinese warships carried out live drills in the Tasman Sea. Australian Correspondent Donna Demaio told Andrew Dickens that when asked, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says there's not much Australian can do about it. Albanese says they'd prefer it wasn't there, but it's able to pass through, just like Australia is able to have vessels in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait.

Jord and Tom quit their jobs 7 years ago to travel to the other side of the world. A few vans later, Jord and Tom have a caravan in New Zealand and share about Fiordland - one of their favourite locations. They stayed off-grid in Fiordland and loved Te Anau for fun activities like jet boating and helicopter trips. The couple share all their best advice for first-time and long-term vanlifers, from choosing the right size space to how to shower. They share travel hacks for the best apps in New Zealand for vanlife, which memberships are worth it and how to live on the road full-time and budget friendly.Discover the best of New Zealand with my NZ Map & Guide, featuring 100+ incredible locations for your next adventure.

Mark Jones is a well-known adventurer in the NZ expedition community. In this episode Mark shares about his most recent journey - sea kayaking the Fiordland coast. Due to the weather, they had to switch to Plan B, and started in Doubtful Sound, finishing in Jackson Bay. The duo were self-sufficient with their protein, fishing and hunting off the land. Mark shares about where they stayed along the way - at questionable campsites and historic huts. There were some incredibly challenging surf landings that damaged both kayaks, calling for DIY repairs to complete the journey. As an Outdoor Education lecturer at AUT, Mark is passionate about inspiring adventure and the connection between mental wellbeing and the outdoors.

David shares the story of his latest love affair, after falling for Seabreeze III, a 48-year-old classic 105-foot motoryacht, that he is acquiring for the rapidly growing, Ocean Sailing Expeditions fleet. After stumbling across Seabreeze III, 2-months ago and reading all about the painstaking restoration undertaken from 2019-2021 at a cost of more than $3.3m, by the current "motivated vendors", it was just too hard to go past. David openly shares the story of the roller coaster ride with Ocean Sailing Expeditions over the past 5 years and why this addition to the business makes total sense, even though its powered by motor and not sail. David dives into the business history, challenges, set backs and growth story. If you own a boat or a business, you'll relate to many of these challenges. This episode includes an exclusive new, one-time Membership and Shareholder offer, to help fund the acquisition of the vessel. You can benefit significantly by accessing sailing adventures at 30-100% discount in return for a one-off investment. Seabreeze III will operate around New Zealand, offering cruises and expeditions to the Bay of Islands, Hauraki Gulf, Marlborough Sounds, Nelson/Tasman Region, Fiordland and Stewart Island, in the warmer months of the year and head to Fiji for 4 months each winter. With 4 different deck levels, Seabreeze III is the perfect on the water, viewing platform for special events such as Sail GP, the Americas Cup and Round-the-World race leg starts and finishes in Auckland. Seabreeze III will join the Ocean Sailing Expedition's, events calendar from late November 2024 and also offer private charter booking opportunities.

What possibly could Captain Cook‘s exploration of the Fiordland of New Zealand's South Island and world class wine have in common? Greg Hay, Wet Jacket Wine's own Captain, leads the team toward a vision of precision, exploration and legacy. Hay founded several of Central Otago's renowned wineries (Chard Farm and Peregrine). With Wet Jacket, he set out to do something more visionary to fulfill a spirituality in his quest to link land and sea.Wet Jacket's lineup breaks the stigma of New Zealand = Sauvignon Blanc. For those who have the opportunity to explore, seeing the breadth of gorgeous whites and legendary Pinot Noir in the Central Otago area brings a completely different perspective. Pinot Gris from the Wet Jacket and Puntangi labels delivers depth and complexity with floral and crisp fruits. Way beyond a porch pounding PG, these wines deserve contemplation to unravel their layers.Our exploration of Wet Jacket's wines extends across a wide array of aromatic whites, legendary varietals such as Chardonnay and Syrah. We delve into the Central Otago expression of Pinot Noir, but not without multiple layers of Captain Hay's magician-like touch. There is a personal feel to what the wines deliver. The legacy, and the vision of what has transpired since Wet Jacket's inception less than a decade ago is nothing less than well rooted in something ethereal, from the cosmos. It's almost like the wines become part of you in telling their story.For more of the story, visit:  Spirituality in a Quest for Wine » WINE WIZE (wine-wize.com)Cheers!

The Westland District, Fiordland and Southland are under an orange heavy rain warning, with up to 800 millimetres of downpours expected. MetService meteorologist Mmathapelo Makgabutlane spoke to Corin Dann.

MetService is predicting more intense rainfall on the West Coast on Thursday as a slow-moving front between Westland and Fiordland is forecast to move northwards. RNZ reporter Maia Ingoe spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss from Franz Josef.

Parts of the South Island are set to get drenched with a front moving in from the Tasman Sea expected to bring intense downpours and strong winds this week. There are three orange heavy rain warnings in place for the Westland District, Otago and Fiordland which set to bear the brunt of the rain. West Coast Emergency Management teams have ramped up as a precaution while the area braces for the deluge. MetService Meteorologist John Law spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

West Coast Emergency Management has started preparing for severe weather. Orange heavy rain warnings and watches are in place for the Westland District, Otago and Fiordland over the next two days and winds could reach gale force too. MetService says the Westland event could be upgraded to a red warning. West Coast Emergency Management Group Manager Claire Brown says an emergency operation centre may need to be set up. Brown spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Department of Conservation says spending nearly $500,000 dollars to kill a single stoat in Fiordland is money well spent. The pest was found on Chalky Island in August 2022, which had been predator-free since 1999. The bill covered things like incident management teams, staff time, dog handlers, helicopter and boat expenses. DOC spokesperson Aaron Fleming says the price tag isn't too high to protect at-risk creatures. "When you're talking about protecting one of our strongholds of biodiversity and some of the special species we have on that remote island, it's absolutely money well spent."

Is this a fair criticism? The Department of Conservation paid nearly $500,000 to kill a single stoat in Fiordland.

The long tailed pekapeka, believed to be Aotearoa's oldest, was recorded this summer as part of a Department of Conservation monitoring programme in Fiordland. Known as T7787, she is at least 26 years old. Long tailed bats are threatened with extinction, so this is pretty significant. DOC Principal Scientist Colin O'Donnell speaks to Lisa Owen.

Large parts of the country are in for a wet and windy Monday, some areas could be hit by thunderstorms and gales. A band of rain has already set in Southland and inland Otago and it's moving up the country through Westland, as well as the lower and central North Island. Heavy rain warnings are in place for Mount Taranaki and the Tararua Ranges. Strong wind warning and watches are in place for the Canterbury High Country, Marlborough, and the Wairarapa. Snow could also settle to around one thousand metres over Fiordland and the Otago ranges on Monday. Metservice's John Law spoke to Corin Dann.

Fiordland locals are devastated a 10-year-old girl from Australia died after being swept down a creek in Fiordland National Park. Emergency services were alerted shortly after 11:30am on Thursday when the girl fell into Marian Creek. The girl was found and removed from the fast-moving water a short time later but was unable to be revived. Southland district council Mayor Rob Scott spoke to Corin Dann.

MetService meteorologist John Law spoke to Ben Strang.

Kia ora e te whānau. Some of running's biggest truisms are also the most tried and tested clichēs. And if you think about it, they are cliche for a reason. Because they are true. What's your why? Have you thought about it? Like, really thought about why you run? Carly Webber and her husband Lee spent three years travelling in a camper-van with their three children before settling in Te Anau 18 months ago. Carly started running six years ago to have control over her life and to spend time investing in herself and her relationships. Keen to share a story and very keen on capturing people's portraits, Carly started Runners NZ in the vein of Humans of New York. People captured in their running gear, and their why. Carly is 150ft tall and this conversation covers multiple topics from Carly's history with running, mental health, to living in Te Anau and being on the Kepler Committee. What is most obvious, apart from the fact that old mate has legendary chat, is Carly's deep love of connection to the trails and the people who run them. A messenger more concerned with the message itself, this is a wee ripper of a yarn with a really good sort. If you love the trails, and the people who love them, then you'll enjoy this.

Kirsty Pickett is in Fiordland, where feasibility testing is underway on the Milford Opportunities Project's masterplan, which could radically change the way tourists interact with the national park. The proposal includes a permit system for international visitors, removing fixed-wing aircraft and some cruise liners, and also banning foreign motorists. And in Tuatapere, the completion of the multi-million dollar upgrade on the country's next Great Walk has been delayed another year. The Hump Ridge Trace was meant to reopen in late 2022 but the date has been pushed back due to supply chain delays and bad weather.

Courteney Beven is a scientific diver and chef who in recent years has become an "underwater weeder" on the side. So far, Beven has racked up over 1,000 hours in Fiordland seas, gently collecting the invasive seaweed Undaria.

Tourism operators in Milford Sound face radical changes to the way they operate under a new proposal. Government-funded initiative The Milford Opportunities Project, which is overseen by the Ministers of Conservation, Tourism and Transport alongside Ngai Tahu, are pushing for a ban on all overseas drivers within the area.
