Two trampers have been flown to hospital after injuring themselves in separate incidents in the top of the south. The Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter was called out to four incidents across Nelson and Marlborough on Sunday afternoon and evening. Pilot Barry McAuliffe said at about midday, the helicopter flew out to the Perry Saddle on the Heaphy Track, where a woman in her 60s was airlifted to Nelson Hospital after suffering a knee injury. Soon afterward at 1.30pm, the crew responded to a medical event – where an emergency beacon had been set off in the Waihopai Valley and one was person airlifted to Nelson Hospital.

Wisconsin and the rest of the nation have endured frigid temperatures in recent weeks, but officials with the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore say it won’t be enough for the ice caves to form on Lake Superior this winter. The park announced the ice caves would remain closed for the remainder of the season on Thursday.
The ice caves drew international fame to the far corner of northern Wisconsin in 2014 when around 138,000 people visited the Apostle Islands for a glimpse of what one park official dubbed a “fairyland” of ice formations.
The Abel Tasman Coast Track is one of the New Zealand Department of Conservation s Great Walks.
Picture postcard beaches and inviting azure waters are undoubtedly the Abel Tasman National Park’s hallmarks. The sands are not the only thing golden about this area. This corner of New Zealand may be the country s smallest national park, but it punches well above its weight when it comes to reputation.

Wardens Phil Brown, of Iron River, and Dave Sanda, of Gordon, contacted an individual to register a bobcat. It was discovered: the cat had not been tagged correctly; the tag was not validated; the cat was trapped with a cable restraint, which are illegal to use until Dec. 1; and, the individual had illegally placed cable restraints for fisher trapping.
Warden Brown observed an individual driving slowly down a gravel road with a dog running alongside the vehicle. Brown was able to come around the other way and approach the vehicle from the front as the driver retrieved a grouse. The man was driving around with a loaded .22 rifle and shooting grouse from the road without a small game license. The man also admitted to shooting a buck he had not registered.
