> Nelson - Westland > Moana and Lake Brunner
 Situated half an hours drive inland from Greymouth, and on the tourist route to
Arthurs Pass, Moana is a recreation village set on the shore of Lake
Brunner.
Much of the land
around the lake is farm, forest and mountain, and only
accessible by boat or on foot.
There is an
extensive local history from the early days of gold
prospecting, the development of forestry and farming.
The place to find out local history is asking the
local people, often the hotel bar is the ideal place
for this.
Activities often
centre around the lake. There are swimming beaches
and you can hire power boats and canoes or go fishing, hunting, and walking.
There are several
cafe's, a hotel, motor camp and motels. There is a
daily passenger train to Arthurs Pass
and Christchurch to or Greymouth.
Getting
there: Drive from Greymouth, Arthurs Pass
or by rail.
