My favourite wilderness hot pools are at Welcome Flat on the Copland River, on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island.
The Copland is a tributary of the Karangarua, River which runs from the Southern Alps down to the Tasman Sea at a location south of Fox Glacier. Welcome Flat is on the lower part of the Copland River, at an altitude of about 430 metres, with a very flash hut.
Adding to the magnificence and strangeness of this section of the West Coast is the fact that it’s in an area called the ‘beech gap’, which extends from Paringa to the Taramakau River, south of Greymouth. The beech gap, which is thus quite sizable, is an area where all the native beech trees were killed by the glaciers of the ice ages, after which, in a curious irony, only the more tropical-looking podocarps regenerated.
