Fantastic initiative from the Reefton Trail Collective showcasing all our tracks and trails 🎉

🎉🪅EXCITING NEWS! 🪅🎉

We have a website!!

After a lot of behind-the-scenes work, the Reefton Trail Collective finally has a home on the web! 🪅

👉 www.reeftontrailcollective.co.nz

We’ve brought together information about Reefton’s walking and cycling trails in one place (Explore the Tracks), including trail descriptions, photos, maps and other useful info to help you decide where to head.

You’ll also find:
- A dedicated Tour Aotearoa section for TA riders passing through Reefton

If you've been out on the trails recently, we want your trail intel! You can use our form to share current conditions, photos and anything else that might be useful to the next person heading out.

✔ Bucket List #7

Walk the main street of the town that turned the lights on.

In 1888, Reefton became the first town in the Southern Hemisphere with public electric lighting - before London, before Sydney. The gold-rush facades still line Broadway, and the town wears its history proudly

Have you ticked this one off yet?

✅ Done
📍 Still on my list

Save this post so you can work your way through all 100.

Promoting Buller is on a mission to install a selection of eye-catching signs around our district, celebrating the wild beauty on our doorstep and helping locals and visitors discover more places to explore 🌴

This new installation features a stunning shot the rocks at Cape Foulwind by From The Field 👌🏼

Want to be part of this new initiative to beautify Buller? We do have some funding, but we’re also looking for individuals, organisations or businesses to help sponsor signs like this one. Any assistance at all would make a difference 🙌🏻

Contact us to find out how you can get involved 📧 [email protected]

We're excited to launch our Support Our Working Bees campaign! Our volunteers donate their time, help us cover the rest ☺️

We've worked out each working bee costs around $120 for fuel, equipment, maintenance and getting our Trail Crew to the work sites. While many of these costs have been quietly covered by our volunteers so far, your support helps make sure they can keep giving their time without also carrying the ongoing costs.

There are three easy ways you can help:
⚒️ Adopt a working bee – sponsor an entire working bee for $120
🪚 Fill the working bee pot – make a one-off donation of any amount
🪣 Bee pass subscription – become a regular supporter with a monthly donation

If you're able to help, we'd love to have you on board. Every bit of support makes a huge difference for us.

Contact us for more details 👉 [email protected]

A HUGE thank you from Reefton Inc and Reefton businesses to the organisers of the Reefton Vehicle Display for delivering another fantastic event 🎉

This year’s event was the biggest yet, with incredible attendance, great weather, and a real buzz around town. It was wonderful to see so many visitors enjoying the display and supporting local businesses, with several businesses reporting some of their best trading days ever.

Reefton Inc is proud to have supported this event over the years and looks forward to working alongside the organisers and Reefton Inc members to help make next year even bigger and better.

A special thank you to organisers Vanessa, Guy and Aleisha for putting so much into making the event a success (and for Vanessa & Guy delaying their honeymoon!). We hope you both enjoy some well-earned rest and safe travels.

Thanks for bringing another memorable day to Reefton!
