About Te Kahui Kaupeka
Spans south Canterbury and the Mackenzie Country, encompassing spectacular ice-shaped mountains and broad glaciated valleys in the Two Thumb Range. The name means 'gathering place of the waters' - from the mountains the rivers flow in all directions. Includes the historic Mesopotamia Station, briefly home to author Samuel Butler.
