weather is heightening concerns for a missing tourist in Nelson Lakes National Park.
Nelson Bays Police are appealing for sightings of 41-year-old British tourist Andrew Ian Wyatt, overdue on the Te Araroa Trail between Nelson Lakes and Boyle River
the area between waiau pass at the southern end of nelson lakes national park and the st james walkway on the Te Araroa Trail, is a common place for people to die
an ultra light walker went missing a few years ago and was never found, drownings arent uncommon on the Waiau river... its not an easy river to cross at the best of times.... after rain it becomes suicidal to cross. divert from the trail and you're in an area where few people venture in an area full of bluffs and difficult river crossings...
