Lake Wānaka

Thielandale, yeah.

Uh [laughs] kind of this, it's look- overlooking Lake Wanaka, um, which is this, uh, you know, surrounded by snow-capped mountains in the, in the South Island.

Um, there's a huge kind of community upswell-

You shall not pass.

View from the bottom of the world is really global.

Uh, and actually, like, like, if we've got a logo, but you know, we've got our logo is this upside-down mountain, which is the bottom of the world, and then there's a bar, which is the lake, Lake Wanaka, and we really just keep that as a key value of ours is, like, just flipping the context to be from the bottom of the world and just seeing the world differently.

And so I think because we've always had that, we're not from the US, we're not from Europe, we're not from Asia, just from this little UN down the bottom, it's meant that we're b- a little bit more neutral.

Uh, we don't show up perfectly, but we show up kind of like we can hang out in Chamonix, we can hang out in Jackson Hole, and we look and feel like a local, and people love us in each of those communities.

If the water coming in gets more, so we're thinking of, of a, like a flood.

Let's think about Lake Wanaka and the Clutha.

We, um, if you got more coming in, the lake's gonna rise.

It's gonna get to a point, then it's gonna get too much, and then we're gonna not be able to cope with that.

So think about, I don't know, maybe it's a river leading into a lake and the river that's emptying the lake is happening exactly the same speed, the water coming in is exactly the same as leaving, so the lake stays exactly the same.

If the water coming in gets more, so we're thinking of like a flood, let's think about Lake Wanaka and the Clutha, if you've got more coming in, the lake's gonna rise, it's gonna get to a point then it's gonna get too much, and then we're gonna not be able to cope with that.

So lactic acid, if we go beyond that zone four into zone five, the the reservoir is increasing increasing and therefore we'll not be able to cope with that so zone four is the balance so if we play with that and we get better at producing lactic acid because we need that we need to use that it's not a bad thing that we get Andrew Mashman is better at clearing it and breaking it down using the other muscles and a liver in the body to use that.

So that's basically what's happening at zone four.

I'm liking that.

Marcus, the road closure of State Highway six around Lake Wanaka is gonna take about six to eight weeks.

There is eighty thousand cubic meters of material to move probably to Fulton and Hogan, Red, uh, Full Ho- Fulton and Hogan's Red Bridge s- Bridge, wed- Red Bridge site.

That's five thousand three hundred and thirty-five truck and trailer loads.
