Autumn has been and gone
R. ‘Beverly McConnell’
This week winter officially begins – a
warm wet one was promised, just a little
different from the autumn of mixed

was observed that a drain had been constructed above the race up gradient of the cap
that, at the time of inspection, was directing spring water around the cap. It was
considered that the drain would also be adequate to direct stormwater from above the

the first significant rain autumn. They spawn in autumn after the dry period,
laying several hundred eggs that hatch in 3-4 weeks. This gives the fry the

aquatic or terrestrial animals, such as other larvae, amphipods or
copepods. These fish are New Zealand’s most specialised freshwater fish
and a unique component to our heritage.
