Array Wairau Gorge (WAG)
Conners Creek Hut (CCH) Broadband

Click on station name below or on map above for photo (if available)

Map of Wairau Gorge/Hells Gate area. Alternate site to Rainbow River array. Owner of land for stations is Crown Lands; access, though, is across Rainbow Station. Road to this area locked March-November (?) and requires access arrangements; other times $10 fee/visit.

Blue circles are sites. Black dots under or immediately adjacent are GPS sites from C. Wilson field examination of 2/1/01. Faint yellow filled circles illustrate a "perfect" array (almost exactly under S1-S3).

Viewto north from somewhat south of No Man's Creek (which is just beyond second power tower at left). Peak at upper left edge is eastern peak of Turk Mountain (pk 1651), which rises above the southern stations in the wairau Gorge just beyond the point where the river vanishes from view.
View north within Wairau Gorge, from near WAGS2 site. Note the absence of braided channel and fairly high banks above the river
